An annual International Award ceremony created to honor the year's best films, TV Shows, Advertising, Paintings, and Photos.
Founded Maggie Anwer to support & promote artists all over the World and to create a venue where aspiring filmmakers & artists can present their work, meet and exchange ideas.

we created our virtual cinema theatre to screen the films and to let the audience all over the world watch the films, then we go live for the ceremony in Los Angeles to announce the winners.
we want to let independent films reach everyone and be respected like the commercial one, as the first year more than 20,000 viewers watched our program.

All the selected films will be screened in our virtual cinema, we have an audience award so our audience will vote online

the last day will be live to communicate with filmmakers, artists and attend the ceremony to announce the winners

Los Angeles, one of the greatest cities in California, we offer filmmakers that attend the event a great networking opportunity, we have for many years had support from industry professionals, they are on hand to talk with you about all aspects of the business of film, you will have access to these people all free of any charge, we screen all in one location all the panels the networking any meetings all are in one location, we have in past years had different locations but found it better to keep everything together,

Independent filmmakers and creatives face many challenges; the large competition for viewers’ attention, finding funding, and getting a distributor can only be overcome by the industry coming together and creating opportunities for those who need and deserve it. Our Festival’s aim is to create an opportunity for filmmakers to show their work to the right audience at our intimate and relaxing events and get one step closer to success by receiving recognition for their art.

film screenings and socializing with like-minded creatives from all walks of life. All of this is neatly wrapped in a week-long showcasing of films where our strong community supports any and every film, from first-time artists to seasoned creators.

We have many success stories where attending distributors have made offers to the filmmakers, launching them and their work into the marketplace. We have the people and skills in our professional team to make this happen.
