We accept films of all genres. The only requirement is that a mom served in a leadership role on the filmmaking team.
MOM Film Fest is a mom-led nonprofit serving as a career development and advocacy resource for mothers working in independent film and television.

One category that is uniquely ours is Best Mom-Themed Film, honoring stories that explore motherhood directly.

Films must be submitted through FilmFreeway. Submit your project here.
OUR MISSION
#LeaveNoMomBehind
Movies to make, people to raise. As a grassroots, mom-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our mission at MOM Film Fest is to serve as a career development and advocacy resource for moms working in independent film and television. With initiatives that create returnships for moms re-entering the workforce and supportive childcare solutions, we work to amplify the visibility of content made by moms in order to create job opportunities that will get #momsbackonset.
As a team of filmmaker moms, we have experienced racism and gender bias firsthand. We are fighting to expand access and opportunity for all moms, and to bring visibility and support to those still mothering in the shadows.
