The team that brings you the Sherman Oaks Film Festival & Film Invasion Los Angeles, two festivals ranked in the Top 100 Best Reviewed Festivals by FilmFreeway users, brings you the TVHi Film Festival!

What is the TVHi Film Festival? The original event, THC Cinema Movie Night, gave birth to a smartTV app/streaming service called TVHi, available on Roku, FireTV, AppleTV, AndroidTV, iPhone and Android Mobile. THC Cinema Movie Night has been renamed to match its offspring. The theme remains the same... GREAT indie films that may be even BETTER to watch with THC.

Submissions have NO OBLIGATION to join the streaming service TVHi. However, this is a great way for filmmakers who are interested in seeing their work on a streaming service to get it in front of TVHi's decision makers.

All genres and formats are welcome! Comedy, Drama, Arthouse, Experimental, Horror, Documentary, Music Video, Animation, Web series, and more.

Everything that we screen will win the "It's All Good Award." If your film is an Official Selection, then it's a winner.

$1,000 Cash Prize for a TVHi Commercial Spot!
If you check out watchTVHi.com and have an idea for a 15-30 second commercial spot, then this category was created for you. Submit your spot and our jury's favorite wins a $1,000 cash prize! Additionally, any spots that the jury enjoys will be invited, though not required, to be on the TVHi platform and social media. Streaming on the platform does not just mean that the public will see it; it means that the maker of that spot will receive quarterly royalty payments for being on the TVHi platform. Submission to this category, and only this category, is FREE!
