FACTS Fest — the film and pop culture festival serving Central Pennsylvania — needed their annual fundraiser gala to feel less like a nonprofit event and more like a true red carpet moment. The ask was to produce a full premiere-level experience at King Mansion that would drive donations, generate press coverage, and set a new standard for what a regional film festival could look like.
"The goal wasn't just to raise money — it was to make people feel like they were part of something that mattered to the culture."
iSocialite Media was brought on as full showrunner and production partner — responsible for every element from red carpet management and decor through to sponsor acquisition and run-of-show execution.
We treated the King Mansion like a film premiere venue — not a banquet hall. Every element was designed to feel elevated and intentional, while staying rooted in the FACTS Fest mission of celebrating independent film and regional creative culture.
Full red carpet build-out with step-and-repeat, media management, and talent coordination — producing the arrival moment from start to finish.
Transformed King Mansion into a premiere-level gala space — lighting, table design, branded elements, and environmental details that communicated prestige.
Created sponsor pitch materials and developed a outreach strategy. Identifying, pitching and closing partnerships that added credibility and production value to the event.
This was the best year yet. We are so thankful for the support of the iSocialite Media team.
