MOTION UNITED FILM FESTIVAL COMING TO AUSTIN, TEXAS

Motion United is a new film festival that seeks to create a revival in the independent film festival world. We have created a festival that has dedicated itself to the independent filmmaker and the films they make. There are three aspects that set Motion United apart, the first being a non-political selection process that guarantees a transparent and fair selection process no matter the amount of money behind the film, the second being the refusal to allow the awards to be diluted and maintaining a prestige for the winners of our awards, and finally giving back as much as filmmakers give to be in the festival by dedicating a large percentage of festival budget in order to give unique awards, cash prizes, and other perks for filmmakers to reward their hard work and creativity. We welcome you to our website and we sincerely hope you take the time to read more about our festival and please help us make a festival that truly honors you and your films.
