Hello ICVM family and friends, I’m grateful to serve as the new Executive Director for ICVM. Paul Sirmons now leads our board and we are all here to serve our industry and our members, as we continue to grow as a supportive Christian community for this generation of storytellers. We have many things happening behind the scenes to expand ICVM beyond an annual conference and increase the value of your membership. If you're not a member, here's how to join. The big news we are highlighting this month is all about the 45th Crown Awards. Submissions are now open and we're excited to see what you've been up to! We are still moving ahead with plans for the ICVM Storytellers Conference in November in Glendale. We are in touch with the hotel to determine what precautions and changes will be made to keep attendees safe. We are also exploring an online component for those unable to attend, so please keep us in prayer as the changing situation unfolds. |
We’ve partnered with Film Freeway to allow our Awards to be open for both ICVM members and non-members -- and make it easier to submit projects from anywhere in the world. We’ve also partnered with NRB on a Crown Awards ceremony at their conference to give our Crown Award-winners a big promotional boost!
We’ve made it more valuable to be an ICVM member – members get a 50% discount on all submissions to the Awards! You will get the discount code when you join ICVM. You can join here. If you are already a member, ask for your FilmFreeway discount code from Paul Marks at [email protected].

We are excited to announce that this year, for the first time in over four decades, we are coming together with another media powerhouse organization to bring more exposure for our filmmakers and members. This year we are partnering with the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) to create the largest Crown Awards we’ve ever had.
Dear ICVM Members & Attendees!
At our last conference in Nashville, many of you raised your hands willing to help make the next ICVM better than ever by pitching in where you could help.
You probably know that feeling ... you’re in the midst of a project and wonder if you’ll ever see it finished? That period when you have to just grunt through it to get to the next stage when it starts coming together.
When you’re producing a film or documentary, there are a million little decisions. Followed by a million more.
Do you know anyone who has a film to submit to the ICVM Crown Awards? Only 1 week left to submit entries into the ICVM Crown Awards competition!
I just received some exciting news to pass along to you. Kendrick Brothers Films has generously donated a $1,000 cash award to the Gold Crown Winner for Best Picture and $1,000 cash award to the Gold Crown Winner of Best Evangelistic Film! This, added to the generous donations of Christian Visual Licensing International (CVLI) and the Ron Mix Memorial Fund, we are now excited to offer a total of $3,500 for Best Picture and $1,500 for Best Evangelistic Film!
It was great to see so many of you in Orlando for the ICVM Ice Cream Social! We also had many new faces join us, with over 250 people attending! I hope you all were able to network, meet new friends, and hug the necks of old friends... and of course get some ice cream. There were reports of late comers missing the ice cream, but other than that the event was a great success! See you in Cincinnati!
Don't forget to register for the conference and to get your films entered for the Crown Awards!
