In light of the pandemic, we want to keep the magic of going to the movies alive. So our festival started out as a drive in! Although we've moved to varied amazing venues, our goal is to promote and celebrate talented filmmakers from around the world!
Also, this is the only place where you can receive the one and only The Jorjezian Award for your work!

  • Thanks for selecting "Bay For Blood" into your festival! I wasn't able to attend the event in person, but was impressed by the level of communication displayed throughout. Also, this festival does a really good job of making the filmmakers feel welcome, which isn't the case at a handful of festivals I have been a part of in the past. Overall, I had a very good experience and will definitely consider submitting future projects to Jorjezian Film Festival.

    I sadly wasn’t able to make the festival, but a couple of my crew members were able to and they said it was a blast! Super fun screening and our film, Not a Hero, won best wardrobe and best production design! I’ll definitely submit to this festival again.
