🎬 Not everyone should judge films.
But maybe… you should.
The is opening its doors to new global judges for 2026.
And no—this isn’t about titles.
It’s about taste. Instinct. Vision.
Let’s be honest…
Too many films are judged by the same voices.
The same circles.
The same perspectives.
We’re changing that.
We’re building a jury that is:
🌍 Global
🎥 Diverse
🔥 Unafraid to recognize real storytelling
🎬 How it works:

-All judging happens on FilmFreeway
-100% online
-Volunteer-based
