Submit your Short Film and get it showcased at the FEEDBACK Film Festival in Chicago.

The fastest growing film festival in the world today:

Your film will get screened in front of a large, broad audience.

– We are a feedback festival and you will actually hear what people and film lovers think of your film.

– Your film is screened and then talked about with the audience, lead by a Professional Industry moderator. (NOTE: Screenings are now held in private to maximize the audience feedback video you will receive.)

– We then post the audience feedback video online right after the festival for you to watch.

NEW Showcase: Submit your FEATURE FILM and receive an audience feedback promotional/testimonial video of your film. Great video to use to get into more festivals and/or promote your film.

Awards & Prizes

Screenplay winners get their work performed by professional actor and made into a film.

Accepted films get their film shown at a guarantee full house crowd. Then we turn the cameras on the audience after the film is screened and they'll receive an Audience FEEDBACK Video of your film.

If your film is not formally accepted, email the festival and we will send you the committee's feedback notes on your film submission.

    Lovely festival and I was honored to be a part of it in someway with my short documentary. We did a podcast and it was a joy to talk about it!

    The festival was great and we received a lot of good feedback. We were happily surprised to see that they also gave out recognition awards. We will submit to this again.

    We loved the festival. Everything. The format, the categories, the good communication.

    We had the honour of being chosen as "best direction", but the most beautiful thing was the feedback they gave us.

    It fills us with pride and injects motivation to continue creating.
