Awards
We only award the best independent films and filmmakers after an extensive evaluation process.
Our jury evaluates the level of quality, filmmaking and storytelling ability.
All winners and a handful of impressive nominees will be given the option to have their film distributed by Studio 7 Films Ltd. through Amazon Prime Video. A great opportunity to have your film publicly placed on a prestigious VOD platform. You will also be sent “winner” and “official selection” laurels, to help market your film. All winners will also receive a digital certificate engraved with your film, name and “Studio 7 Independent Film Festival”. All selected and winning nominees will be contacted by the Studio7IFF team a month prior to the notification date for further information.
How We Judge Your Project
Our submissions are judged by an initial jury of international industry professionals. They rate each submission on various categories, some of them including ability, ingenuity, pacing, skill, and the level of production value (dependant on the budget). This helps them to decide which submissions make it into the final stage where the jury will re-watch the selected submissions to make sure we only pick the best quality films.
