selections & awards:

Filmmakers will be notified if their film has been selected to screen no later than August 15, 2021 for all deadlines. At the time you are notified that you have been selected, you will be asked to provide marketing materials (still shots, posters, press kits, etc.) so we can help promote your film as much as possible leading up to the event.

Awards will be given for the following (subject to change based on submissions received):
