WIFF Film Fest hosts screenings and an inclusive selection that leaves every audience wanting more. Be a part of this new way of premiering your short film at The WIFF Film Fest. In partnership with A Night Of Misifit Films, WIFF brings international movies to Phoenix.

All competition films will receive a financial email rewarding your film with an equal split of the proceeds for filmmakers. All Official Selection competition films receive equal share of the proceeds from tickets sales set for the filmmakers.

Our goal is to help the filmmakers have as much success through our festival as possible. We feature each filmmaker in our marketing as well as on the days of the festival capturing interviews for future press for the filmmakers. All these little things we feel give filmmakers the best chance to have a successful year premiering their film.

  • Thanks for selecting "Enter the Room" into your festival. I wasn't able to attend the event in person, but was impressed with the level of communication and detail provided. I had a very good experience overall and will definitely consider submitting future projects to WIFF Film Festival.

    When I was first notified that my screenplay, Close Enough To Perfect was selected as an Official Selection, I said “Well, okay…”. Then I went by the website, saw it listed among all these other cool projects and realized how few were actually selected. I wasn’t able to attend the event as it was Thanksgiving weekend and Phoenix is a 5-hour drive one way from where I am, so I never found out which projects actually won but not every festival actually lists Official Selections and their loglines/synopses so that is quite something.

  • I was very honored to become an official selection for my full-length feature screenplay GERONIMO'S REVENGE, my first screenplay ever of any kind. Thank you thank you so very much for this award...
