Film Pulse Selects is a unique, year-round online film festival that celebrates the best new voices in independent cinema. We know exposure is a difficult thing to achieve as an indie filmmaker, and we’re here to help. Since 2012 Film Pulse has been nurturing independent cinema and has a loyal audience of independent film fans from across the globe. Our highly curated selection of short- and feature-length films emphasizes quality over quantity, so you can rest assured that, if selected, your project will be in good company.
Exposure
All accepted films receive a full writeup along with the possibility of additional written Q&As and/or podcast interviews.
Awards
All accepted films will be eligible for our year-end awards, given to both our top short and feature film in the narrative and documentary categories.
Support
We know indie filmmakers put blood, sweat, and tears into their projects, so we're here to highlight the best in microbudget cinema.

Your film will be exhibited on your terms. Although we encourage filmmakers to allow their project to stay on the site indefinitely, we’ll work with you to find a schedule that suits your needs.
