For the last five years, the films selected as finalists by well-respected Hollywood television and film executives, have been screened at the Directors Guild of America.
As a result of being chosen as one of 16 winners, the cast and crew of “Bella Would” are invited to the award show and red carpet event. All winning films will be screened and individual awards will be announced at the award show.
