Overview
Yes! Let's Make a Movie International Film Festival is a small competitive festival founded around local and independent filmmaking, with an emphasis on short films and a broad mix of genres. Its programming includes categories such as documentary, horror, drama, comedy, animation, student films, and trailer awards, and it also recognizes films over 20 minutes in a feature section.[1][11] It is notable for giving exposure to DIY and locally made films alongside international entries, positioning itself as a grassroots showcase rather than a major industry market.[2][11]
