The Finalists for 2019

We at the DIY Film Festival are pleased to announce...

THE FINALISTS FOR THIS YEAR'S FESTIVAL!!!!!



We have films from across the globe, New Zealand is in the house, as well as filmmakers who send us their films from Iran, Germany, India, Chile, France and cities across the U.S.

Because we have such a far reaching group of filmmakers, we became an online festival and we do our best to celebrate people from a variety of backgrounds, filmmakers from a variety of disciplines, from all walks of life.  


We have DIY film students, people who decided to pick up a camera to tell a story, and accomplished professionals who have created a film that doesn't fit the standard film festival route.

We welcome all of you, and thank you for letting us view your work.  As filmmakers, we know the process involved, the hours of prep and work and editing and finishing involved.  We appreciate the ability to be able to highlight your work here at the DIY Film Festival - now in our 16th year! 


The following filmmakers are FINALISTS in this years DIY Film Festival.  Thank you to all the filmmakers who sent us films, needless to say not everyone makes it to the finals, but we encourage all of you to take out your camera and make stories that move people!
