Miracle Makers International Film Festival ()

Festival start: 28 July 2021      Festival end: 01 August 2021

The Miracle Makers International Film Festival is a brand new, brave, and determined (just like you) - series of events geared at showcasing film and media that make you 'believe'. For many of us, the movie theater and television screens were the first places we learned to believe in what is possible.

Film has been responsible for acts of heroism, courage, and daring in many real lives, and that matters because in a world that is broken; we need the vision and faith to make miracles.

Well, you've found the place to dream big and if your words, films, docs, shorts, music videos, art, or books showcase the believer in all
And that is exactly where you come in.

If you're looking to screen your film in premium theaters or showcase your work with great audiences and judges who understand you, then join us for our 2021 Season.
