Quarterly Film Festival reviewed by a panel of screenwriters, producers, and exhibitors. Winners are selected by "fans" via an online voting system designed to give each filmmaker maximum exposure to the general public.

Category winners may hold a red carpet event at the luxurious Eclipse Theaters in Las Vegas, Nevada

We are dedicated to showcasing films from around the world. From up-and-coming filmmakers to award-winning features, our program gives all entrants additional exposure and a platform to showcase their work to a worldwide audience.

Our goal is to curate a rewarding online experience for viewers interested in all film genres, while simultaneously providing filmmakers with a platform to gain exposure and potentially monetize their work long after the competition is over. VFFest is a must for established and up-and-coming filmmakers who have created short and feature films that audiences will appreciate.

FILM AWARDS
Category winners may receive the following prizes:

- Monetary prizes, up to $500 per category.

- Film Premiere or Private Viewing at the luxurious Eclipse Theaters with the rental cost waived (valued at over $1500)

- FREE Digital Distribution available for select films. The profile page will be set up by VFFest, allowing you to market the film in conjunction with it being available on multiple platforms, including AppleTV, Samsung TV, ios, Android, Roku TV, and Amazon Prime. While not every film will be selected, we encourage all filmmakers to submit for consideration. Selected films will be eligible to receive a significant portion of the proceeds from the digital sales of their respective film. Details for the distribution deal will be made available upon the announcement of the category winners.
