Overview

The Faith and Family Filmmakers Awards is an online Christian festival and awards program in the United States that recognizes faith-based and family-friendly storytelling, especially for unproduced projects. It is notable for focusing on industry tools such as scripts, pitches, reels, proof-of-concepts, and trailers rather than only finished films, making it a development-oriented event within the faith-film community.[1][2][3]
