This is the best Faith Based Film Festival in the world and I’m honored to have been involved for two years and now teaching a class on Film Music. See you there

It was an honor for the Atomik Age Project to be selected in the music category. A very well run film festival that has a large worldwide acceptance. All the best going forward.
- CLARE STEFFENMay 2023
We were so proud to have our song, "Don't Let Your Heart Be Troubled," selected as a part of this dynamic film festival. It is a well-run, and reputable festival, that brings meaningful messages through the arts.

Excellent people and opportunities for networking, seminars, classes and more! If you’re looking a Christian film festival that is top notch, you won’t be disappointed!
- Corry KeelerMay 2023
This was an amazing experience for us first-timers! We were SO stunned that we won in the Best Music Video category for our video, Rain Down, and we were treated like royalty! (Thank you also for nominating THREE of our videos!) The staff was so professional and helpful, the networking was open and fruitful, and the atmosphere was like a big family supporting each other. We met so many new friends and connections and we hope to come back with our next project! ~Randy and Corry Keeler
