NOTE OUR PROGRAM CHANGE:
Due to COVID, we have made a last minute decision to present our festival online. This will not only ensure the comfort and safety of our filmmakers and guests, but will also greatly enhance the size of our viewing audience. The festival can be see online FREE from December 2nd through January 2nd 2021, and will also include an Awards Show. In addition, filmmakers have been invited to send us a film clip in which they introduce their film to the audience. Please see our website for complete details about the films, and how to watch the program.
This is our 11th year, and our 19th film festival.
Our festival showcases films produced anywhere in the U.S. or Canada that are less than 15 minutes in length. We welcome Narratives, Documentaries, PSAs, Commercials, Web Series, Trailers, and Animation. (Sorry, no music videos accepted).
All entries are viewed by a panel of five judges, who carefully grade each film on its technical merits, acting, script, and entertainment value. Films with the highest scores become “Official Selections”, and are showcased in our festival. Fair and equal consideration is given to all entries regardless of your budget, or where you live. Films with solid stories and good audio have the best chance of being selected.
Award certificates and trophies will be presented in numerous categories, such as "Best Web Series"; "Best PSA"; "Best Documentary"; "Best Animation"; "Best Short", and in many other categories. Winners will receive an "E-Certificate" via email, which can be printed at home for your entire cast and crew. Trophies will be delivered by the Post Office.
