About the festival

The Hollywood Divine International Film Festival is dedicated to blessing, supporting, educating, and encouraging industry members and audiences of the faith/family filmmaking community. We seek to bridge cultures through the spirituality, education and promotion of the arts through independent film. *We will have several distributors at the festival with opportunities to network and showcase filmmaker's projects

We, at Hollywood Divine, with the help of our heavenly father, want to make a big change and we are hoping you can help us with that.

There are many Christian artists out there looking for an outlet to spread the light of God through their God given gift of artistry. There are also many Christian people out there looking to appreciate art that celebrates their relationship with Christ.

We at Hollywood Divine want to be a part of that change. A change that will, at least, balance out the darkness spread by mainstream Hollywood and the music industry, and give independent Christian filmmakers and musicians the chance to build their ministries by displaying their art to new and emerging audiences.

We believe that creating art, in any form, is a reflection of the ultimate creator. It’s one of the best ways to praise God and share his infinite love with the world. We ask you to please consider joining us on this journey.
