ORLANDO, Fla., May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The curtains may have closed on the International Christian Film & Music Festival (ICFF), but the buzz around Pure Cinema USA is just beginning.
From industry leaders to first-time filmmakers, attendees continue to reach out to the nonprofit after its dynamic and high-visibility presence at ICFF, held at the DoubleTree by Hilton at SeaWorld in Orlando. Known as the world's largest gathering for faith-based entertainment, the festival drew thousands. Pure Cinema USA emerged as a standout force in the movement to tell redemptive, values-driven stories.
"Our team was completely blown away by the energy, talent, and sheer hunger for faith-driven stories," said President of Pure Cinema USA, Natasha Davies. "We came to ICFF to connect, inspire, and share our mission—and the response has been overwhelming."
Festival attendees flocked to the Pure Cinema USA exhibit booth, where leaders showcased upcoming initiatives and previewed the launch of The Pure Story Challenge: Faith on Film, a national short film competition awarding $10,000 to the best faith-based short. The contest drew immediate attention from young filmmakers, community leaders, and media outlets alike.
Notable guests at the event included Dean Cain, television star and outspoken advocate for faith and family in media. Cain was among many who stopped to connect with Pure Cinema USA during the four-day event.
"This wasn't just a festival—it was a movement," added Yolanda Nollie, Vice President of Pure Cinema USA, who enjoyed herself at the event and remarked. "We're seeing a hunger for stories that uplift and unite. That's what Pure Cinema is here to deliver."
With more than 166 media pickups and top-tier press visibility through a strategic partnership with Hampton Bates Public Relations, Pure Cinema USA continues to gain national attention.
