Winter Film Awards is an all-volunteer, minority and women-owned registered 501©3 non-profit organization founded in 2011 in New York City by a group of filmmakers and enthusiasts. Their mission is to promote diversity, bridge the opportunity divide and provide a platform for under-represented artists and a variety of genres, viewpoints and approaches. They believe that only by seeing others’ stories can everyone understand each other and only via an open door can the underrepresented artist enter the room.
