This festival is all about recognizing YOU...the filmmaker! We will be selecting a lot of films and giving out a lot of awards, but only a few will make it to the live screening. Jump start or continue your festival success with us!

Join us for the PRAYnksters Comedy & Family Film Festival (PFFF), a celebration of creativity, fun, and positivity! The festival showcases the best comedy and inspirational films from around the world, selected for their inspiring themes, engaging storytelling, and entertainment value.

PRAYnksters is dedicated to promoting positivity, comedy, faith, and kindness in the world. Our message has reached millions of people around the globe, and we've been featured on just about every major international media outlet, including CNN, MSNBC, Yahoo, and more. We've also been featured on many television shows, have secured distribution partnerships, and our videos have amassed millions of views.

The best part? Tickets to the live screening will go towards buying Christmas gifts for foster kids, making it a great way to give back to the community while enjoying the festival. By submitting and/or attending PFFF, you are supporting a great cause and spreading love and hope to those who need it most.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to send us an email.

Awards & Prizes

We will be naming award winners in every category, as long as there are enough quality projects.

All projects will qualify for all extra award categories, which may include (but not limited to) best acting, best score, best credits, best editing, best directing, best cinematography, best writing, and best concept.

PFFF considers Features to be 60 minutes or longer, extended shorts are 30-59 minutes, and under 30 minutes is a short film. Films that are not appropriate for all audiences may still participate and win awards, but will not be eligible for the live screening.

All selected, nominees, and award-winning projects will receive official laurels to showcase their achievement. We are proud to recognize the amazing work of all the filmmakers who participated in the festival.
