What the heck is Film Prize anyway?

This spring, filmmakers from all over the country came to Northwest Louisiana to making a short film between five and fifteen minutes long to compete for our $50,000 cash prize – the largest short film prize in the entire world. 127 film teams participated and of those films, twenty were selected to appear in competition at Prize Fest. These 20 films are known as the “Top 20” of the Louisiana Film Prize. Of the Top 20, one will be crowned the winner of the 2017 Louisiana Film Prize and take home a grand prize of $50,000 cash.
