Film is an international medium that has its roots in the American inventors and entrepreneurs. This spirit is felt in every word of a script, every frame, every cell and every pixel of film produced around the world.
The American Film Award is a recognition of what it means to have that founding motivating force. It is much more than a trophy, it is a message that the spirit of film is alive.
The American Film Award is a mark of excellence in Film Craft.
The American Film Award, a beautifully carved and etched trophy, is presented to the best Feature and Short Script as well as the Best Feature, Short, Screenplay, Documentary, Episodes, New Media, and Best Student films in competition.
