The Hollywood & Beyond Movie Awards/ Film Fest is a monthly awards competition and an annual film festival. We are dedicated to honoring movie makers and content creators by giving them the recognition they deserve. By celebrating them and helping their work receive greater exposure. Film festival attendees will experience short and feature films as well as discussion panels & Q&A's with artists working in the industry. We do not screen or judge projects based on movie budget or celebrity attachments. Each month laurel wreaths are emailed to award recipients and once a year (in September) a festival is held to honor select recipients and to display their work. AWARD RECIPIENTS ARE NOTIFIED BY THE 26TH OF EACH MONTH. By submitting to the festival you confirm that you own the rights of the film and you agree to allow your project (if selected)to be shown at the annual event and used for marketing. If your film is selected to be shown at the September festival you will be notified a month prior to the event. In order for films to be screened in January a DVD of the project must be submitted.
