The 4th CFA Film Challenge showcased an inspiring lineup of original short films created in just 72 hours, celebrating bold storytelling and the collaborative spirit of independent filmmaking.

The League of Filmmakers has relaunched with a bold new vision: to give independent creators the credit, support, and community they deserve. From writers and editors to producers and podcasters, LOF celebrates the often-invisible hands behind the films we love and connects them through a national coalition of filmmaker groups, resources, and partnerships.
