Being an official selection means our film is accepted at the film festival and is up for awards. As of this date, we have been selected for five film festivals, with two confirmed awards for best short documentary and best Documentary Film and an honorable mention for Best Short Film.

Part of the filmmaking process is submitting to film festivals. Why submit the film to festivals?

Film festivals can offer many benefits for the film, such as exposure, feedback, networking, distribution, and awards. Submitting the film to festivals can reach a wider and more diverse audience. Thus far People & Wolves has been reaching those goals.

We have been selected by five film festivals. To find out when and where People & Wolves will be shown, go to the following festivals’ websites: Royal Wolf Film Awards, Mindfield Film Festival-Albuquerque, Montreal Independent Film Festival, and 2024 ARFF Amsterdam // International Awards

I began entering film festivals in November 2023. The film has been selected by five festivals. It has three confirmed awards as Best Short Documentary thus far, showing the cast, crew, and producers that the documentary film industry acknowledges the film’s coexistence story.

 

The film has been entered into many festivals and has the possibility of being selected and winning more awards.

 

 

Two More Awards from Critics Choice International Film Festival.
