The RealVibez Film Festival was launched in 2021 as an inaugural online festival in the United States, organized by RealVibez, the entertainment subsidiary of Blue Mahoe Capital. It is notable for spotlighting Caribbean creators and for its focus on short-form films tied to sport and entertainment, including music, dance, theatre, art, and publishing, with documentary, short, feature, narration, and musical categories. Its significance lies in positioning Caribbean stories for wider international exposure through screenings, panels, awards, and industry meetings aimed at distribution and development.
