Lights. Camera. Help. The Nonprofit Film Festival is the world's first film festival dedicated entirely to nonprofit and cause-driven films.  This 3-day event gives films-for-a-cause the attention they deserve by putting them up on the big screen in a theater setting.

As a nonprofit event, it's free to submit your cause-driven film and all of the proceeds from ticket sales go directly to the winners of our judges prizes.

As of now the submissions are closed for this year.
