The Miami Projections Film Festival

Miami Projections©: A showcase of what’s next in Film, Animation, and Digital Media is a shorts festival presented by Miami Media and Film Market (MMFM).

The festival will have its inaugural showcase at the 2024 MMFM conference on July 14th and 15th at The Biltmore Hotel's Conference Center of the Americas in Miami,FL.

Miami Projections aims to showcase short length audiovisual projects, including films, teasers, concept videos, and other pieces of short form media that have specifically been made as a stepping stone towards creating a longer form or feature length piece of content.

The films will be screened with the intention to pitch these shorter projects to global film representatives and executives who will be attending the MMFM conference in July, with the hopes of mutual interest in creating something larger out of the original short form media projects.
In addition, we will be inviting the local Miami community to be among the first to experience a filmmaker's work and vision.

All genres of short audiovisual content are accepted, although emphasis will be placed on shorts, concept videos, pitch reels, and animated works (including demos for video games and interactive content) with the intention of the content creator to develop the material into a feature length film, full episodic series, animation feature or series, and/or video game concept.

Preference will also be given to local Miami area stories, filmmakers and producers.
The maximum length of a submission should be no more than 15 minutes.
The films must include English subtitles (unless the spoken language is English).
For public screenings, the accepted format is Full HD *.mov and *.mp4 files.
