If your film is selected as an award winner, your film will be officially recognized on our film website and social media. We have a very active online presence and work hard to promote indie filmmakers. Metamora Films will also publish and distribute a press release to various press outlets with details on the winners.

We have also partnered with iPitch.TV. The winning film in each of our four categories will receive a FREE 1-year subscription ($299 value) to iPitch.TV which includes a platform for creators of original pitches for TV, Film & Digital Media to connect directly with Hollywood Producers and Studio Executives. In addition, each Official Selection will receive a FREE 3-month subscription ($117 value).

In addition, winning films will air on Portland, Oregon’s ‘Open Signal‘, a community TV station reaching over 400,000 homes in the Portland metro area.
