About New Media Film Festival

Founded in 2009 in Los Angeles, the New Media Film Festival® was created to honor stories worth telling across all media, cultures, and ages. From the start, the festival has championed integrity, innovation, and global voices at a time when new media was still defining its place in the industry. Today, NMFF is recognized for its commitment to creators working across both established and emerging formats — from first‑time storytellers to Oscar® winners. The festival programs work from around the world in 25+ categories, including Shorts, Features, Web Series, Pilots, Scripts, Digital Comics, Mobile, AI, VR, AR, 360, and other evolving forms of storytelling. Each category reflects the belief that great ideas are not defined by format, budget, or geography. Our judging panel includes professionals from Marvel, HBO, the Emmys, the Grammys, PBS, and BBC+, bringing a level of discernment and industry experience that has become a hallmark of the festival. Their involvement underscores a shared respect for craft, originality, and the future of media. Filmmakers often describe NMFF as a festival that leads with integrity — a place where their work is evaluated thoughtfully and presented with care. Many have gone on to secure distribution, get funded, expand their careers, and build lasting industry relationships through the connections made here. Beyond screenings, NMFF offers a space where creators, innovators, and industry leaders engage in meaningful dialogue about where storytelling is headed. The festival continues to evolve alongside the technologies and ideas shaping the next generation of media, while remaining grounded in its founding values. The New Media Film Festival® is committed to celebrating creativity, supporting emerging talent, and recognizing the work that moves the art form forward.
