 Writers, filmmakers, and composers, as well as the international entertainment industry, have the unique power to transcend social and cultural barriers, and to move the world community to action. The long-term vision of the Moondance International Film Festival is to preserve and revitalize this intangible heritage, cultivate creative diversity, develop an intercultural dialogue, and stimulate this creative resource. The age-old concept of storytelling has always been an ideal means for communication across perceived boundaries of race, culture, age and gender.
Seek beauty, truth, harmony...the promise of the future and the blessings of today. Live well, laugh often, love much, gain the respect & the love of children; fill your niche, accomplish your tasks; leave the world better than you found it. Appreciate Earth's beauties and express it. Look for the best in others, and give the best you have.

WHAT YOU NEED
TO KNOW ABOUT MOONDANCE:
As Moondance’s founder, executive director & artistic director, I have had the rare pleasure of personally previewing and judging every single film, reading all screenplays and other written works, and listening to all music and film scores submitted to the annual competition.
I have selected all the films to be screened and all the winners in every category, and have done so, successfully, from the very first Moondance, in 2000.
I do not travel to other film festivals looking for films to invite. In the rare event that a very special film is invited to be screened at Moondance, it is clearly labeled as “invited”, and it can have no chance of winning an award. Only submitted films have that opportunity.
When submitting your work to the Moondance annual competition, you can be 100% assured that it will be carefully previewed and judged fairly.

I went to Pitchfest in LA last weekend and pitched my screenplay. Four producers want to read the screenplay. I noticed that as soon as I mentioned it was a finalist at Moondance, the immediate response was, "Send it to me." Thank you so much for letting me "name-drop" like that. What a world of difference it has made in creating instant interest in my screenplay!
