The Filmmakers Academy Film Festival was quite a blast! We had a great turnout with about 275 people in attendance. Many of the films included messages such as forgiveness, compassion, faith, and loyalty. Our keynote speaker, Colin Gunn, gave a fascinating presentation about his experiences as an independent Christian filmmaker while interspersing clips from documentaries that he’s made.
The judges chose “The Good“, created by Legendary Films, as Festival Champion.
The Audience Choice Award also went to “The Good“.
“Superior Weapon“, created by The Warriors, received Festival Runner-Up.
We were so proud to see the improvement in every team between their first film of the summer and their final film. Filmmakers Academy’s goal this summer was for each student to learn more about the art of filmmaking so that they can use this medium for the glory of God, and we really believe that this goal was met.
Thanks to everyone for such a great summer and we hope that all of you continue to grow as filmmakers. See you soon!



Great Filmmakers Academy this summer. The enjoyable “The Good” movie was entertaining and thought provoking. I hope it wins more festivals. Congratulations to all!
