The Storyteller Universe is a global celebration of cinema that honors the soul of storytelling. Rooted in the belief that stories can transform lives, our festival shines a light on bold, original voices from every corner of the world.
We welcome all forms: narrative features, shorts, documentaries, experimental, animation, and web series that reflect powerful storytelling, emotional depth, and creative vision. Whether you are a first-time filmmaker or a seasoned creator, if your story has something to say, this is your stage.
Our mission is to build an inclusive, accessible platform where fresh talent meets opportunity. Selected films will receive widespread recognition, with press coverage, virtual showcases, and awards in categories like Best Feature, Best Short, Breakthrough Storyteller, and Audience Choice.
We are not just a festival. We are a movement. A universe where your voice matters, your story counts, and your film inspires.
Submit your work and become part of The Storyteller Universe, where stories live forever.
