Heartland Film Festival - October 16 - 24, 2008

About Me

Heartland Film Festival, a non-profit organization, was established in 1991 to recognize and honor filmmakers whose work explores the human journey by artistically expressing hope and respect for the positive values of life.
Each October, Heartland screens Truly Moving Pictures from around the world, ranging from dramas to documentaries to animation during the Heartland Film Festival.
In addition to the annual film festival, Heartland also created the Truly Moving Picture Award in 2000 to honor theatrically released films that inspire and enrich lives. Throughout the year, studios and producers submit their films for consideration in hopes to achieve this distinction for their films. Heartland knows that the film industry determines success of a motion picture through its opening weekend box office sales and therefore encourages audiences to attend a Truly Moving Picture Award-winning film on its first weekend of release.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

If you're a film lover by any definition of the word, you should know about Heartland Film Festival. Our mission - To recognize and honor filmmakers whose work explores the human journey by artistically expressing hope and respect for the postive values of life - sets us apart from other festivals and ultimately narrows the field when it comes to the films we present.

To films and filmmakers who'd like to add Heartland as a friend: We're forced to be selective when it comes to the films we "friend," as we must be confident that the story and message of the film adheres to or aligns with our mission. If you're sincerely interested in adding Heartland as a friend and think that your film is the kind we'd support, please send a quick message to [email protected] and we'll give it a look. Becoming a friend on Heartland's MySpace in no way relates to our submission process.

Visit www.HeartlandFilmFestival.org for more information, and thanks for stopping by!
