2025 Spring Awards
Coming Soon ...
Adventure. Storytelling.
Welcome to the Wild Film Fest, a celebration of adventure films that explore the wild,
the waves, amazing causes and all the wonder of nature.
Have a new adventure film you'd like to share?
THE STORY
While many festivals feature broad categories, Wild Film Fest is dedicated entirely to the outdoors. We showcase films that inspire adventure, connection, and exploration—whether it’s surfing the Aleutian Islands, trekking Kings Peak, traveling through Alaska, or saving waves in the Pacific.
We’re passionate advocates for time spent outside and are here to celebrate films that share that same spirit.
THE FILMS
What We Are Looking For
Submission Guidelines: PLEASE READ!
• Please only submit your film if it pertains to our festival theme: adventure, exploration, nature, mountains, documentaries, surfing, ocean, environmentalism, and conservation ... aka your film is focused on the outdoors.
If your film is broadly outside of these categories, you will be disqualified.
• Currently, we are accepting films that are 45 minutes or less.
• Only completed films within the past 2 years will be considered. We do not accept rough cuts or concepts.
