It was a tough task to narrow down all these great films, directors and actors to 7 nominees for each category but here they are:

Matthew Ramsaur, filmmaker from Louisiana, has announced that he has launched his new Christian Film Festival called the Kingdom Collective Film Festival in his home town of Ruston, LA, May 5 – 7, 2017. Matthew made this statement on his facebook page yesterday:
“After a lot of thought and prayer, God has been pushing me to start a Christian Film Festival. And today I can finally share that with you. It is open to anyone and everywhere no matter where you live, but will take place in Ruston, LA. Take a look at the website for further information and how to submit. I could use your help by sharing this post and getting the word out.”
For more information on submitting your films to this festival log on to: http://www.kingdomcollectives.com/
Matthew submitted a film for our festival called “IN BETWEEN“, starring Shelby Olivier, is an official selection and is scheduled to screen Friday night August 19th, 2016. Mr. Ramsaur was the writer, director and producer of this amazing short film.
[Film Overview: Battling between nightmares and consistent community invites from a co-worker, Shelby questions where the nightmares are stemming from. Shelby begins to face choices to choose living in the darkness or step into a lighter world.]
It was a long and tedious task but someone had to do it. With over 90 hours of film to watch, I had to pace myself, but all the selections have been made, with a little help form some great friends and film buffs like myself. The next step is scheduling so it will all fit just right.

It has been a long year, yet time has gone quickly since last year’s film festival. It has been an amazing experience as we continue this journey of bringing you the best faith-based films from around the globe. Last year we had over 90 films submitted to our festival, with just over 50 becoming official selections. There were many great films on the cutting floor that either didn’t fit the criteria or may have just been a little under the quality we were looking for. Nevertheless, those that did not make it still were excellent films and could possibly win at other festivals abroad.
This year, we promise the same quality assurance in selecting the best films to be screened. Some of the selections will be selected and reviewed but may not make the screening, depending on the scheduling, but will be available via the GLCFF TV page via the YouTube playlist. We received over 150 submissions this year and I have to say, we are just as impressed, if not more, as we were with this year’s films. We promise to give every film it’s due diligence and review them thoroughly making sure we not only have the best films represented, but making sure we give honor to those who have excelled in their productions.
We are excited to bring you our 2nd annual Great Lakes Christian Film Festival and look forward to hosting you, your team, actors, crew, etc, to our festival. Buffalo, New York is not only a great place to host the festival, but it has been a coveted location for film companies. Several films have recently been shot here including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, and currently under production Marshall (2016) about a young Thurgood Marshall, the first African American Supreme Court Justice.
Once we make our official selections we will announce ticket sales for admission and vendor deals. Thank you for your patience.
Shawn Patrick Greene, Executive Director, Great Lakes Christian Film Festival
