THE LORD OF THE REELS
Your journey as an indie filmmaker starts here, with allies who believe in your story
FIRST OBSTACLES TO OVERCOME
Projects that already have nominations have a much higher selection percentage.
That is why we have decided to be a bridge festival to help you with the first nominations. This way you will have many more options to be selected at other festivals.
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT FROM OTHER FESTIVALS?
We believe that the relationship between festivals and artists has to become closer again. Each festival has to use all its resources to help the filmmaker on their way. Currently, festivals only promote the winning projects and that is not enough. Funding the festival race is a huge effort and festivals should help much more.
This is our motto:
Good communication. We answer all emails, personally notify all nominees and send a second email to the winners to notify the list of winners in each category.
We promote all the projects entered in the festival every week.
We make personalized laurels for each winning project so you can use them on your networks.
40x selection rate compared to other festivals.
Fast Notification. We notify the selections every two months so you don't have to wait 8 or 9 months for the results.
Ultra-reduced fees. As a festival, we subsidize 70% of the cost of each registration so the final fee that the artist must pay is much lower than normal. This is our way of helping you on this path.
Networking. Connections with Directors, Producers and Distributors.
The festival gave my film a spotlight when I felt invisible—truly a lifeline.

I am writing to express my deepest and most sincere gratitude for honoring my short film “Mayonnaise” with the Best Filmmaker Award. Receiving this recognition, along with the beautifully designed custom laurel, is an immense encouragement to me and my team. Thank you for creating a festival that truly celebrates independent voices
