Haydenfilms Institute

Realizing the power that films have, especially short films, a major focus for us is helping filmmakers not only to realize their own dreams through films, but also to use film to improve our quality of life and to spark interest in pressing social issues.

The Haydenfilms Institute Online Film Festival is a classic example of our focus. It gives young filmmakers from many countries an opportunity to gain public exposure, compete for a major cash prize to finance future projects and network with both new and experienced people in the movie industry. We also strongly believe in the power of new media and technology and are dedicated to making it available to our network of filmmakers.
