Anabelle Munro’s-the Most Important Films II (3)

Festival start: 26 July 2021      Festival end: 01 August 2021

ATTENTION: Based on recent global events, many of our vendors and partners CAN NOT Guarantee that their business or service will be available to us based in circumstances beyond their control. State and Federal mandates may prohibit them from offering their services.
In response to these developments the TMTMIFS events will offer an Online Event from August 28 - September 1, 2020 and our Live Event in Las Vegas from September 2 to September 6, 2020. Should Federal or State leaders close locations and vendors at that time, the ENTIRE TMTMIFS Program will be held Online. Thank you!

AMTMIFS Film Festival is an International film fest and writing competition now in its 2nd year. The show features screenings and awards for up to 10 projects. TMTMIFS will run concurrently with the AOF MEGAFEST, the largest film event of its kind in the world.
