Dreamachine International Film Festival is the fastest growing film competition out there! We are officially recognized by IMDB and winners will be listed there. We hold 4 sessions a year, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter all of which combine in one huge live event at the end of the year! Each session, our Jury will privately screen each submission and award the best films. Winners will be announced after each session. Special Recognition will also be given to the winner of the Best Picture(short film & feature film), Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress. Our live yearly Film Festival Screening is held in the Los Angeles area for the chance to be crowned with our Best of the Year Awards! Exact Dates of live events will fluctuate.
What we’re looking for-
Our jury consists of passionate and award winning filmmakers, actors, public figures, and industry professionals who believe that beauty, creativity, passion, and imagination are found in all walks of life. Artistic freedom and expression are vital to feed our inspiration. This is why the Dreamachine International Film Festival accepts films of any and all genres worldwide. We are film lover's who look forward to passionate and creative projects made by filmmakers with no artistic limitations. We are the dreamers, the believers, and the storytellers. We look for films that tell a unique and engaging story that not only intrigue and entertain the audience but also make the audience think and feel. Foreign films must include English subtitles (unless the spoken language is English).
Yearly event-
Last year our inaugural Dreamachine International Film Festival took place live at the Regency 6 Plaza in North Hollywood! This year our annual event will take place on December 18-20th, 2020! There will be a Red Carpet with a professional photographer, plus live publicity interviews! A live screening of some of the best films submitted to Dreamachine International Film Festival this year, as well as an award ceremony and live cast and crew interviews!
