A festival that moved online — and loves it
Portland MovieMaker Awards is a seasonal awards event. It is an online event. The world has changed and so have we. We are embracing the virtual future, showing our elite films exclusively and broadly online in a manner that supports each film's individual path of exposure.
The festival will welcome any independent project from all genres. This is an independent event for all Feature, Shorts, Documentary, Experimental, Commercial, Music Video, Animations, Student Films, Series and TV. The award ceremony is looking for independent projects from all genres, particularly low or no-budget ones and all countries. Our mission is to promote films, and be another step up in the filmmakers' careers.
Submitted projects are judged through private screenings by our internal programming team — they select the Finalist films of each edition.
The festival's jurors — a rotating team of invited experts, mainly from the film industry — privately review the films and award the best projects.
