Introduction to the film festival

The Miracle Makers International Film Festival is a brand new, brave, and determined (just like you) - series of events geared at showcasing film and media that make you 'believe'. For many of us, the movie theater and television screens were the first places we learned to believe in what is possible. Film has been responsible for acts of heroism, courage, and daring in many real lives, and that matters because in a world that is broken; we need the vision and faith to make miracles. Well, you've found the place to dream big and if your words, films, docs, shorts, music videos, art, or books showcase the believer in all of us, then you are in the right place! What Makes Us Different? The commercial side of Film and Film Festivals is amazing but with so much attention to the business of the art, a huge gap is created for those who create films in order to meet their dreams halfway. Not every film was created to win an Academy Award and not many films actually do. We've seen more films created for the sheer love of the medium and those are the films that we're interested in honoring and showcasing to the world. And that is exactly where you come in. If you're looking to screen your film in premium theaters or showcase your work with great audiences and judges who understand you, then join us for our 2021 Season. We offer incredible Discounts for Student Filmmakers and 1st Time Filmmakers.Sfilmmaker is our exclusive platform for cooperation in China, and we look forward to your good film.
