Based in sunny Burbank and just over the hill from Hollywood, the Hollywood Verge Film Awards seeks to award outstanding independent films based upon their originality and ability to tell a compelling story. 

 

The festival will provide up to 5 nominees in each category along with a winner or winners per category. All nominees and winners receive laurels. We also give out genre awards, which increases the chance of winning an award.

 

Note: There will be no public screening or ceremony, which allows you to keep your premiere status in tact.

 

What makes a Hollywood Verge film?

 

We love independent films. We love genuine storytelling that doesn't play by the rules. Though Hollywood is in our name, the festival really seeks films that say something and are alternatives to the 'Hollywood' style. We could care less about movies with big name actors. Production value doesn't matter as much as story and originality of vision.
