The International Movie Trailer Festival (IMTF) was launched in 2010 to help independent moviemakers showcase their work. IMTF maintains a virtual online movie theater where fans, producers, and everyone interested in movies can see the creations of filmmakers from around the world.There's a division for traditional trailers--previewing movies already shot--and another category for faux trailers pitching movies still in the dream stage. In addition to the People's Choice Awards, determined by visitor's to the site, there's a set of juried awards including a $5,000 Grand Prize to be announced in December, 2010.

First runner-up in the People's Choice competition is Timo Vuorensoia's Iron Sky. A Finnish entry, this sci fi trailer for an un-produced movie is about Nazis who rocketed to the moon in 1945 and are getting ready to return.

Second runner up is Justin Chambers' Manifest Destiny, a trailer made for a 20-minute short drama. Shot in Los Angeles, the story is about two brothers held prisoner and forced to decide which one shall live and which shall die.
Many of the top entries will be featured in IMTF's documentary Preview Your Dreams: The Art of the Movie Trailer. A teaser for this feature-length movie can be seen at www.internationalmovietrailerfestival.com.

In January, 2011, IMTF will launch its second year's Festival, which will include an innovative teaser competition.
