  To ensure that each film and screenplay is evaluated and graded on its own merits, we established a mechanism that ensures that entries are not judged against one another. They are, in essence, competing against themselves: we judge each item on its own merits and provide a score based on an innate value system. We want to make sure that when it's your moment to be judged, the judges' attention is focused on you and not on all of the other films in the queue; this ensures that they won't be thinking about comparisons when they should be thinking about YOU. We screen only Best of Festival winners (IF AVAILABLE)
Our screening event is to collect audience reactions to be used by our distributors. We don't conduct after-screening networking parties or seminars.
Video interviews of the viewing audience may be conducted and shown on WRPN.tv

HIFF, with WRPN.TV Entertainment Network also offers a unique opportunity to show your film to a worldwide community of video fans from dozens of countries that filmmakers would not usually have access to as an optional online video exposure opportunity. This feature is available for "Best Of Festival," “Best Of Show,”
“Outstanding Excellence,” “Excellence,” and even some “Exceptional Merit” winners.
