During the first season the other judges chose to remain private. That won't all be the case in the second season as three of our judges have elected to be listed. Ace Film Festival is an online awards competition dedicated to recognizing screenwriters, filmmakers, cast, and crew for high-quality work. We are new as we go into our second season.

We comprehend some festivals have a selective range in taste and play it close to the vest, making it hard to swim in a contest, when you can’t see what’s in the water. At this festival we have a very broad range of taste: Action, Adventure, Animation, Avant-Garde, Claymation, Comedy, Crime, Dance, Drama, Dramedy, Documentary, Drone Media, Environmental, Epic, Experimental, Faith-Based, Family, Fantasy, Historical, Horror, Musical, Mystery, Noir, Romantic Comedy, Science-Fiction, Stop-Motion, Suspense, Thriller, War, Western, or Wildlife., etc. etc.

We understand the amount of effort, commitment, and dedication that goes into creating films, video games, television shows, and/or streaming content etc. Making any movie is a challenge and we want to help your film with the notoriety and accolades you and your film deserve.
