Hello World from Team CFF in Woodbridge Virginia USA.
The moment has finally arrived when we announce the winning Awards for the
1st Crossover Film Festival held on November 4th 2018 in Woodbridge Virginia.
We had fun at the NOVA Lakeside Theater screening these incredibly strong films and we hope that you will find these as rewarding as we did along with hundreds of other viewers.
18 beautiful films, over 50 Crossover Awards, over a dozen categories, an international feast.
On behalf of every team member, from the founders to the judges to the filmmakers and their teams, to the support staff and those who volunteered without asking for anything in return, and to the people for attending and viewing the films, we would like to thank God as we bring you the Final Awards at the Crossover Film Festival. We at CFF strongly feel that It's not just about the film or its production value but it's more about the message it carries, it's the story.
Congratulations to all the recipients of the 2018 Crossover Film Festival Awards.
Your Films Mattered and in the end the Truth Prevailed.
We also hope you enjoyed watching and learning from these films as much as the filmmakers enjoyed making them and the pleasure we had in screening them, and finally rewarding them for their impactful work. Join us in appreciating the heartfelt initiatives from these powerful filmmakers and help them spread the message of Truth.
And if you are really serious about the Truth, and when you read about these films, then ask yourself why they are not readily available on so many of the networks you watch everyday.
1st CFF has been a truly international film festival with over 750 films received from all over the world, to mention a few countries - Turkey, Russia, Belgium, India, Australia, Spain, Pakistan, United Kingdom, Nepal, Brazil, Ireland, Canada, Egypt, Ukraine, Netherlands, France, United States and so many more that we can't fit on this page, but what is most important, is that we have experienced a world-wide participation which is very encouraging as CFF now rolls into the next phase of building a permanent home for these good films and thousands more like them on the filmmaker-owned film network LFX
We started with just one short film of the CFF co-founder Imran Ahmed in Berlin and one film from the other two co-founders Alex Henderson and Adam Cabrera in Los Angeles. After 3 months and over 750 films we are here to prove to you that there is not a lack of good films or good filmmakers but what is lacking is a platform that would truly, honestly and genuinely stand up to support such good films while generating a rewarding experience for the viewers.
A Spade is A Spade.
Peace.
