Hey Stage32 Filmmakers!
The ILLUMINATE Film Festival is offering a career-changing opportunity with our $25,000 Micro-Short Film Contest focused on the theme "Oneness of Humanity: Love, Kindness, and Joy."
THE OPPORTUNITY:
$10,000 GRAND PRIZE for the top film
$15,000 in additional prizes including 2nd Place, 3rd Place, People's Choice, and Honorable Mentions
90 SECONDS OR LESS - That's all you need to create!
DEADLINE: MARCH 17, 2025
WHY THIS MATTERS TO YOU:
This isn't just about the cash (though $25K is pretty sweet). Finalists will have their films screened at the 11th Annual ILLUMINATE Film Festival in Santa Barbara, CA (May 1-4, 2025), gaining international exposure and connecting with conscious media leaders, distributors, and fellow filmmakers.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
Heart-centered stories that celebrate our shared humanity and the universal languages of love, kindness, and joy. Your 90-second film should remind viewers that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.
ILLUMINATE is the world's premier showcase for conscious cinema – we're looking for transformational stories that elevate awareness and inspire positive change.
HOW TO ENTER:

Hi, Kia M. Kiso. I’m a Stage 32 Lounge Moderator. I wanted to let you know that I moved your post from the Filmmaking/Directing Lounge to the Anything Goes Lounge because it's an outside short film contest (non-Stage 32 contest). Let me know if you have any questions.
