Best Director
The Ultimate Artist Film Festival is the perfect opportunity for me. I've been directing films since college and we all know how expensive that can be. So making a film and winning cash diffently helps to purchase a few peices of equipment.
Best Writer
I've loved writing since I was a little girl, it's always been a part of me so this film festival gives me a chance to show my work on screen.
Best Cinematographer
Cinematography is my life and I've been involved in several festivals but nothing like this where I could actually win cash. I'm so excited becasue I can use a new lens.
Best Actor
There's a lot of actors out there and this is a great opportunity for me to get lots of exposure, I would do acting for free but it's good to know that I could actually get paid from this. I think it's great becasue when you win it gives you a certain kind of feeling.
Best Supporting Actor
Acting is a lot of fun, I've been doing it since I was little. One of the directors picked me from an auditions, I'm so excited I get a chance to be on a big screen, people will see me and my talent. I'm so glad Ultimate Artist Film Festival is taking place. Thank you so much UAFF!
Actors who appear in short films that win best Director and Best Film will receive a free headshot photoshoot.
