THE ORIGINS OF MEGAFLIX The 'MegaFlix Film Awards' is the sister film awards event of the 'International Fortean Film Festival', and was originally created as a platform to celebrate non-Fortean submissions which were occasionally and inadvertently submitted by filmmakers unaware of the festival's specific genre. It operated as a separate entity for the first season, using the same infrastructure as the 'Fortean Film Festival', but with a smaller judging panel and no public film screenings, offering only a judging process with multi-level awards. The 'MegaFlix Film Awards' has gone on to become a successful awards ceremony in its own right, and now, for the second season of both film awards events, the 'MegaFlix Film Awards' is now being allowed to share the full glory of the limelight with its big sister, the 'Fortean Film Festival', with its own live event, to welcome ANY and ALL film and video projects, from any genre imaginable! From action movies to romantic comedies, from Hollywood to Bollywood, the 'MegaFlix Film Awards' category truly welcomes it all! Recipients of awards and honorable mentions in this category are able to obtain a unique 'Certificate of Recognition' designed especially for the 'MegaFlix Film Awards'. The 'MegaFlix Film Awards' is also an IMDb approved event, listed separately from the 'Fortean Film Festival'.
