This post was edited by Maura Nicolaita at February 2, 2024 11:08 AM PSTThis festival was amazing! I flew in from Kansas to attend and their hospitality and communication was incredible. It was amazing to meet other youth who are interested in filmmaking. I made some connections there that have really helped. I highly recommend submitting to their festival and attending. You won’t regret it!
~Isabelle WalkerAlthough I wasn’t able to attend the festival in-person, I felt welcomed by the director in our email communications. He was very quick to answer any questions I had and was encouraging of me as a young Christian filmmaker. Very impressed with the professionalism of this festival and was honored to receive two awards for my short film. I am looking forward to entering again in the near future!
~Heather HemsleyCYFF is an amazing festival! Both of my films Silence and The Reconnection were selected to be a part. As I was traveling from Hawaii to attend, there were a lot of logistics involved. The communication and hospitality was incredible, and every question I had was answered within a few days. It was such an amazing to be able to network with other young filmmakers who are just as passionate as I am about both God and filmmaking. Overall, 5 stars. I recommend this festival to any young filmmakers who are serious about their craft.
~Amia VoluntadThe CYFF is an incredible opportunity to meet people who can help you and who truly care about your success. It’s largely because of the CYFS that I am pursuing a career in filmmaking.
~Bethany ReinstedtThe festival was very well organized and inviting to new filmmakers! I was the only filmmaker from Canada in the college division and was sent a Festival in a Box for the night of! It was a great time. Excited to enter in another short film next year.

This post was edited by Maura Nicolaita at January 26, 2024 4:28 AM PSTI want to start a conversation about “Character Development”.
I am curious to hear your thoughts on your approach to this. How do you develop your character? How do you give depth to dialogues and stories? How do you use your characters to awaken emotions in the viewers of the short / feature film that you are writing the script for?
