About us :

Texas region possesses a rich heritage and a large film community. The region has often been a locale for Hollywood productions and television programming. With this in mind , we accept films from all over the world, from American filmmakers and international ones. The main criterion for participating in the festival is artistic criteria and merits.

The above program will be held seasonally. The festival believes that many artistic endeavors and projects are produced in today’s world, and many of these projects want to know of their outcome as soon as possible. Therefore, the seasonal structure allows the filmmaker to be informed of his work’s result in the shortest time possible and will enable him to provide a more suitable and timely platform for advertising and promoting the film. The festival is held in the form of an online award festival, which means that the works are reviewed and evaluated privately by the jury, and finally, the jury announces the best result. Once a year, few selected projects will be chosen from all selected movies and will be broadcast online.

    Likely a scam, do not give them your money. Website is in broken English, communicates identically to other fraudulent festivals, is online only with no proof of authentication.

    My film was selected, but I don't think it was even shown online anywhere, let alone in person.
