Santa Monica
Filmmakers Awards.

Santa Monica International Filmmaker Awards is an international online seasonal movie award created to celebrate independent cinema and emerging voices from around the world.

Founded and run by a group of young filmmakers who studied filmmaking, the festival aims to promote and encourage short, feature, and documentary films while giving filmmakers another meaningful step forward in their careers.

Each season, a selection of outstanding films receives awards, laurels, and customized certificates. A selection of winning films will also be screened online every season.

We invite filmmakers from everywhere to share their beautiful projects, reach new audiences, and let their stories travel beyond borders.
