WINNERS 2019
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2019 WINNERS
What a huge year, even bigger than last year. We had over 320 entries for our second year, and the judges were amazed to see such amazing talent out there. Making films is no easy business, if it was everyone would be doing it, however, hard work, dedication, perseverance, and a lot of talent, has made this year's festival extremely difficult to judge. Here are our winners for the 2019 Next Level International Film Festival.
