What inspires you? What moves you? What challenges you?

The Inspiration Film Festival is looking for films that help answer these questions. We are looking for films that aspire to move and compel its audience forward..to challenge and affect the culture. We want films that both entertain and inspire the audience.

We are now accepting submissions for features, shorts, student projects, and experimental pieces. Our grand prize for "Best of Fest" will be $5,000. Top honors in the student categories includes a one year scholarship to Inspiration Film Academy.
