Films are also eligible for consideration for KINO (a film finance company) to collaborate with a filmmaker to make their feature film. No other film festival offers this. Each category will be adjudicated by a series of working professionals specializing in that genre (i.e. Animation = Pixar Animator. Horror = SAW Franchise Writer etc.) Winners will be announced live in Los Angeles on January 31st, 2024 at the historic Hollywood Legion Theater.
APPLICANTS CAN SUBMIT HERE.
Discount Code: ‘WW&H’ for one-time submission for WW&H Filmmakers.
OR a KINO Pro option at $12.99/mo (this one is great if filmmaker has more than one short as multiple submissions are included + industry workshops, events and more)

KINO PRO is a community and a network of filmmakers that collaborates and builds the future
of film together. We connect the right people to epic opportunities.
Part of KINO’s MISSION is to build a network of creatives while championing and supporting emerging filmmakers. Beyond submitting your short, you’ll be able to create a public profile and include each cast/crew that participated on your short film. This creates the opportunity to celebrate each role on a film set and get noticed for your work outside of this competition. KINO is creating the bridge from emerging to working filmmaker. We look forward to seeing how YOU tell stories.
