AWARD GALA (donation-based – see ticket information on FilmFreeway)

All kid content creators, filmmakers and artists in the world, if you are looking for a platform to showcase your talent and you are under 18 years old, welcome to ETHOS Kids Film Awards!

Helmed by award-winning brother and sister filmmaker duo Lily and Stirling Munro, our annual competition takes place each year at the renowned Laemmle Monica Film Center in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, where our filmmaking mom runs the ETHOS Film Awards for purpose-driven filmmaking adults.

For our program dedicated to kids, all you need is a creative expression of what comes straight from your heart.

This festival is dedicated to the young storytellers to take advantage of the established ETHOS Film Festival platform in form of screenings, opportunities and networking events with accomplished filmmakers and distributors to set the next generation up with fun, celebrations and connections.

Previous ETHOS Film Award Judges, Speakers, and Guests include industry powerhouses, such as Producer / Director James Keach (Walk the Line), Producer Cindy Cowan (Traffic), Merit Leighton (Sophia the 1st, Ride your Wave), CESD Talent Agency, Jeff Olan Casting and many more!

All genres and (almost) all lengths and formats are accepted and we can't wait to see what you have and to celebrate you and your filmmaking skills in Santa Monica!

Disclaimer: Due to submission volume, we can only screen finalists during our live event, but we will showcase all selections online for the Ethos Kids Audience Choice Award!
