We've reached the end of the submission period for this year's annual festival...
Happy to report we have films entered from
France, Egypt, Australia, the UK, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Romania, Lebanon, Spain, Iran, Canada and the good old US of A made in 2015/16.
All immigrants are welcome!, all are invited to submit to the Do It Yourself Film Festival. (And since it's an online festival, there's no stress over trying to get into or out of a country.)
We are in our 14th year, about to hit 15 years as a film festival, honoring the very best in Do It Yourself Filmmaking.
A few titles are still trickling in, but the submission period for the 2016 awards has been closed... (to open again April 1st).
We are in the process of going through all the films, and we thank you for considering us in your submission.
Many of our filmmakers have gone on to have careers in Hollywood, DIY Film Fest Winner ("All That Remains" 2011) Cody Blue Snider is directing his first feature film as we speak. Go Cody! (Directing "Right Hand Guy") and recently shot amazing footage from the heart of the battle for fresh water on the front lines of #NoDAPL where he shot a music video for his dad, Dee Snider.
The point of this festival is to honor those who feel compelled to pick up a camera and tell a story. There is a place in the vast market of filmmaking to speak your voice, to tell your story.
Just because we love Cody and his film, here it is again.... something to aim for when we pick up our cameras...
People don't always pick up a paintbrush to pay the rent, but sometimes when they create something memorable, it turns out to be the thing that does pay the rent. But the act of art is an act of creativity, and we celebrate everyone who picks up a camera and records part of their life.
DIY Filmmakers; we honor you!
If you've submitted a film that didn't make the deadline, it will be considered in next year's festival. Stay tuned for the finalists which will be posted here as soon as possible...
Please keep your DIY flag flying high.
And finally, from a couple of years ago, here's the film that won for best documentary. It was shot in Syria in the midst of the ongoing war. We have no idea if these filmmakers have become refugees, or were able to find their way out of this mess, but we applaud them for documenting the world around them....
Once again, "Not Anymore, A Story of Revolution" 2014 winner by Matthew VanDyke .... Winning Entry for Best Documentary.
