How It Works

1: We select the best submitted films and submit them to the jury
2: Jury voting takes place over 1 month
3: Video Creator Pro members can view selected films
4: Video Creator Pro members can participate as an official jury member
5: Based on jury votes, the winners are announced
6: Winners receive an official MoMo Award (digital).

'MoMo' is run by Simon Horrocks (creator of the Silent Eye smartphone-shot scifi series released via Amazon Prime) and provides a level playing field for filmmakers where talent, creativity and hard work counts more than budget and industry connections.

Believing that anybody with a thought-provoking concept or a touching story can make a great film, the festival will showcase new talent using a tool so simple and readily available that it’s often overlooked: the mobile phone.

The winners will receive an official MoMo award in the following categories:

Best Documentary / MoJo Short
Best Fiction Short
Best Music Video

    MoMo was a wonderful festival to be a part of, the organisers are experts in the field and serious about promoting mobile filmmaking to the world. The line up of films to watch was breathtaking and even though we had to attend online, it was still a great way to catch up on the best Mobile films from the past year. The online platform was easy to navigate and Andrea and Simon stayed in contact and kept us updated on the progress of the film. Winning an award at MoMo was great recognition for our team and ONE PUNCH's story and message, and has helped us get this film seen by a worldwide audience. Thanks team!

    What an awesome festival! The Mobile Motion team is helping rapidly accelerate the growth of this new way to create independent films. It was an honor to be selected with such incredible films and I hope to have the opportunity to be a part of this festival in the years to come!

    I’ve followed the festival for a few years now, so to finally make a film that is worthy of being selected is a great honour. It was fun and really professional. Most importantly, at the heart of MoMo are festival directors that really care about the filmmakers and are genuinely passionate about film.

    It was an honor to be included in the Mobile Motion Film festival. The programmers were thoughtful and considerate with every submission. I enjoyed the festival lineup and all of the amazingly talented film makers involved. I look forward to continued involvement with mobile film making and the MoMo Film Fest.

    Even if the festival didn't occur due to Covid 19, the communication and support was great! I will certainly apply with my next film.
