Honors are more than a simple pat on the back. For queer filmmakers, they can be a game-changer. Gaining recognition at a renowned film festival can create excitement, draw film distributors who can screen your movie for a larger film audience, and provide access to capital for more projects.
The Utah Queer Film Festival Award Jury is composed of queer film industry professionals, critics, artists and advocates. Jurors analyze every aspect of the picture, including the narrative, performances, and cinematography—basically, the magic of filmmaking to award the honors.
