OUR FILMS
The films in our festival were produced by filmmakers from all over the world. Genres include comedy, horror, drama, animation, documentary, web series, PSAs (public service announcements), trailers, and commercials. Lengths are from 30 seconds to 15 minutes. Films have not been rated, so viewer discretion is advised.
OUR SELECTION PROCESS
Our objective is to present films which are technically well-made, informative, and entertaining. Films are selected by a panel of 5 judges, who have graded each film according to its technical merits, such as sound quality, camera work, acting, script, and audience appeal. Films with the highest scores are included in our program, and compete for various awards.

HISTORY
History
The 15 MINUTES OF FAME film festival was founded in 2009 by Ray and Migdalia Etheridge, who enjoy watching (and making) indie films. Ray worked in television as a full time cameraman/editor for over 30 years, working on everything from game shows to soap operas. In the past few years, Ray and Migdalia have produced over a dozen feature films and several shorts. They understand how hard it is to find an audience for indie films, and are delighted to provide a showcase to share YOUR film to our audience. This 2025 indie film festival is the 26th that they have produced.
