Nieves International Christian Film Festival

It was a great honor to have my short documentary film nominated and selected as the 3d place award winner for the 2025 festival.

Nothing to brag about here. Very limited communications, there was only an online awards ceremony for a half hour. No screenings of nominees. Awards: A digital jpeg emailed to first place or best of.

I don't know why they call this a film festival. Anyone can do this. Perhaps folks have forgotten the true meaning of a film festival and need to revisit the definition.

A film festival is a gathering of films screened at a venue, usually in a single city. Film festivals are often held annually.

Purpose
Showcase films: Film festivals showcase a variety of films, including documentaries, animated films, short films, and feature-length narratives.

Provide feedback: Filmmakers can get feedback from audiences and other attendees.
Network: Film festivals provide opportunities for filmmakers, distributors, and critics to meet and discuss film.

Award films: Film festivals often include prizes for films in various categories.

This is a fantastic film festival! We were excited to be nominated and even more excited to win. Please submit your project as everything is done with excellence!!!

Thank you for the time and work you put into celebrating and recognizing filmmakers through your festival. It is very much appreciated. Although I couldn't attend in person, I loved that the award presentation was available online! Very nice! I'm grateful my script, "Floored by Love," was awarded the Best Script. Thank you for this opportunity for faith-based/Christian filmmakers.

Thank you, Nieves International Christian Film Festival, for accepting our submission for Best Trailer and for awarding us the honor of 1st place. Praise the Lord! We received this thrilling news while filming our next production, literally while the cameras were rolling, and all our staff gathered in the center of the filming site to watch the ceremony online together. Every member was filled with joy and excitement.

We also wanted to submit our film, but because our movie "The Mat" exceeds the time limit, we decided to take more time to trim it after our filming period is over at the end of March and present the trimmed version in the next season of the festival.

We are beyond grateful for the opportunity to introduce and spread our film overseas. In a time where fewer people are embracing Christian values and many in today's generation distance themselves from God, the prevailing opposition to Jesus as the only way to salvation has left numerous young Christians grappling with doubt about their faith. We believe it is our calling to address the questions and conflicts that young Christians are facing, dispel any misconceptions or negative sentiments that non-Christians may hold, and foster deeper understanding and unity among individuals of diverse backgrounds through the Gospel. Recognizing the power of film to connect with people of all ages and walks of life, we have chosen this medium to make our message easily approachable and widely accessible.

We are newcomers in the film industry with a burning passion and vision. Despite there being numerous film studios in Korea, the number of Christian film productions/films is few. Through the inspiration of our films, we hope and pray to be the spark that ignites a flame in the hearts of many to jump into this field of work for the glory of God and His kingdom!

We express our gratitude to Nieves International Christian Film Festival once again.

Blessings,
