We are proud to announce the the 3rd Annual Fan Film Director's Choice Awards for 2023. Twenty five different fan film franchises represented with over 50 entries from around the world.
Tons of fun! Congrats to all for the accomplishment of making our fan films. As we all know, it can be a very challenging...but also a rewarding experience. GOOD LUCK to everyone!
Thank you everyone for all the fantastic films we saw ! And of course, a big thank to the organizers for this festival. Very proud to have been part of it this year🙏
Wow!! 🎉 We’re honored to have Super Mario Bros: Back In The Game win the award for Best Comedy/Parody!

Looking forward to seeing more incredible films next year
Thank you all. Either my shunning of social media or the unendingly busy meat grinder of life caused me to overlook this, but I really appreciate the recognition for Best Director for Raiders of the One Ring. The movie was made on a whim during a rough time where Nick and myself just wanted to do something fun in the early hours of the morning July 2022 and then get breakfast after the sun fully rose. The movie was shot mostly in one day with costume changes and very few retakes. We were clear about what we wanted and there was no written script, just a very straightforward idea based around what we had to work with. There were a lot of great entries into this contest (more Snake Plissken please!) and whenever time presents itself, I'll finish the 12 or so projects collecting dust in my computer and enter one of them into the next. I hope all the filmmakers that participated keep creating on whatever scale they can. Telling stories is the oldest (and best) form of communication no matter where you hail from.
It's always fun when you have an idea for a movie in your imagination, and then actually taking it out of your imagination and seeing it in front of your eyes in a movie is perhaps the most fun part of making a movie. That's how I got my Ghostbusters movie about Ecto 1 catching a ghost on a cemetery from inside my head to a movie.
