We ran our first event in 2023, annd year on year, the festival has grown to new heights.

The white rose film festival is owned and run by two individuals with a passion for helping fellow creatives to get the recognition and exposure they deserve. We both come with a wealth of experience in creative media, from film, to books, producing, directing and screenwriting. We are supported by a group of trusted judges and guarantee that every single entry we receive is watched / read and scored with transparency and in full. Here's a little about who we are:

VELTON LISHKE OWNER / DIRECTOR
Velton has a wealth of experience in film, and has written, produced and directed countless films. He lives and breathes film, and is the public face of the White Rose Festival. He will usually be found during our live events hosting the nights and ensuring everyone is having a great time! He also ensures he is in constant communication with entrants for any and all queries they may have during the process.
