Developing the next generation of filmmakers

Renaissance Rising Short Film Contest is a juried, live-pitch competition designed to discover and develop compelling original short film concepts (10–15 minutes in length) that align with themes of faith, beauty, truth, goodness, and human dignity.

Finalists, who shall be selected as described below, will deliver live pitches before a distinguished panel of judges at the Napa Institute Arts Festival in Napa Valley, California.

The winner will receive a production budget of up to $100,000 to produce the short film.

The completed film by the 2026 winner will have the opportunity to premiere at the 2027 Napa Institute Arts Festival and will potentially earn an exclusive distribution deal with EWTN for initial broadcast and streaming
