Twice in the same year? Let’s go!
Filmsupply Editfest is back—our first time ever doing two in the same year. This fall round comes with new judges, new prizes, and a fresh chance to win your share of a huge prize pack.
Participants compete for over $70K in prizes and a chance to receive feedback from respected industry creatives.
It’s time to put your editing skills to the test, and may the best cuts win!
The Judges
A panel of 14 industry-leading judges will score submissions based on the following criteria: creativity, craft, storytelling, and song use.

The Categories
TITLE SEQUENCE
Title sequences are an art form. They set the tone and tease the journey. They can suck a viewer into a story before it even begins.
Ultimately, to win this category, you’ll need to meet one simple goal: Create a title sequence that’s impossible to skip.
Summer 2025’s Best Title Sequence Winner: I See Monsters
ADVERTISEMENT
An effective ad has a hook. That hook is a solution to a customer’s problem, presented in a way that compels action.
Whether it’s lipstick, a sports car, or a bag of dog food—everybody’s looking for something. Show them you have what they need.
Summer 2025’s Best Advertisement Winner: Red Beetle
TRAILER
Cutting a superior movie trailer requires restraint and balance. You have to draw the audience in, but you can’t give everything away. How will you reveal an entire world filled with conflict and resolution in only 60 seconds?
Summer 2025’s Best Trailer Winner: FINS
