WINTER FILM FESTIVAL is an all volunteer, minority- and women-owned registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 2011. We showcase the eclectic diversity and excitement of the independent arts world and believe everyone deserves a fair shot at getting their voice heard. We have a rigorous blind judging process to ensure a bias-free review and outstanding selections. Emerging filmmakers with low budgets and no connections are so often ignored in favor of the standard big budget generic action films. Exciting low-budget films are created all over the world; we must support them and bring these voices to the world! #WFF2025 #CelebrateDiversity #WinterIsComing
