With 1000+ submissions from 50+ countries, the Independent Film Awards has exploded onto the scene.
Our mission?
To be THE community for independent filmmakers. You are an early investor in this ride.
Why should you join us?
- Go all the way. Several of our winners have already gone onto to secure deals with Amazon and other major distributors.
- Meet the right people. We strive to facilitate the connections that matter, both creative and commercial. That's why our festival is bustling with some of the finest minds in the business. Don't miss out.
- Get seen. We carefully cultivate the absolute best submissions to screen at our legendary events. Yours could be one. But only that's offline...
- Film Club (and you CAN talk about it). Our innovative streaming platform means your work could be seen by the top talent across the globe - not just at our festivals.
- We're more than a festival. When you submit, you join our community. You will get plugged into our awesome global network on ifawards.org - don't delay.
- We're a team. As well as the IFA community, the IFA staff is here for you to help your film career in any way we can.
"I would be a nobody without these guys." - Tarantino (according to a Hollywood insider)
