With support from the California Arts Council, Miracle Makers International Film Festival will support ongoing operations for a multi-disciplinary arts organization presenting programming across film, television, digital media, music, dance, writing, and visual arts.
Funding will support year-round programming and the annual festival, including screenings, panels, showcases, and community engagement activities that expand public access to the arts and provide opportunities for emerging and independent creators.
Grant funds will support staffing, outreach, program development, accessibility efforts, and production costs, increasing participation and expanding accessible cultural programming for Southern California communities.
Miracle Makers International Film Festival provides a multi-category platform for artists and creators working across film, television, digital media, podcasts, books, music, dance, and visual arts. Its core program is an annual five-day international festival featuring public screenings, red carpet events, panel discussions, Q&As, networking opportunities, and an awards program recognizing excellence across more than 80 categories. These events are open to the public and designed to create accessible entry points for audiences to engage with diverse creative work.
Beyond the festival, the organization offers year-round programming focused on creator support, professional development, and community engagement. This includes educational panels, workshops, and industry conversations covering topics such as production, financing, distribution, and emerging technologies. These services are designed to support emerging and independent creators, particularly those without access to traditional industry pathways.
Miracle Makers prioritizes outreach through partnerships with community organizations, schools, churches, and local groups, expanding participation and awareness across a wide range of audiences. Programming is delivered through both in-person and digital formats, increasing accessibility for geographically diverse communities.
Through its combined festival and year-round initiatives, Miracle Makers delivers consistent arts programming that supports creators, engages audiences, and expands access to the arts across California and beyond.
