Our festival is currently accepting submissions for the 2026 festival. We welcome original films that highlight military and veteran-connected stories, voices and perspectives. Over our 10-year history, we’ve screened animations, period dramas, romances, Westerns, comedies, horror and documentaries. All entries must be completed after January 1, 2023 and meet certain requirements.
The 2025 festival was three days of amazing stories, thoughtful conversation and community building. Thanks to everyone who participated, attended and added to our impact.
