The New Media Film Festival (NMFF) spotlights stories worth telling. We are looking for films that exemplify the power of the cinematic arts to inspire and transform. The festival celebrates innovative and imaginative visual work that can make audiences laugh, cry, think, and go beyond the ordinary.
In its inaugural year, NMFF will exhibit a selection of both short and long-form works that exhibit a strong personal vision combined with the highest standards of creative excellence and technical achievement. The films will be judged by a jury of notable film executives who will award a $10,000 grand prize of goods and services from Big Vision Studios (http://www.bigvision.com). All finalists also will be viewed by distributors for possible online, theatrical, or broadcast distribution.
Last but not least, any filmmaker who submits their work to the NMFF will receive FREE producer software ($89 value) from Showbiz Software (http://www.showbizsoftware.com).
