At FFTG Awards Film Fest, everything we do comes down to one simple, powerful truth: destiny.
When we look back at our journey — starting humbly in 2020 during lockdown — we see how things unfolded in ways beyond mere planning. This festival, these stories, this community… it wasn’t just built. It was meant to be.
Each year, countless talented filmmakers share their voices with us. Their stories, raw and real, resonate beyond borders. But from this sea of creativity, only a select few are called forward — invited to become part of something rare, something sacred: We, The Chosen Ones.
This isn’t just a jury. It’s a calling.
It’s about those who have been seen — whose work has moved audiences and peers alike — stepping into the role of those who see. It’s an invitation whispered by destiny itself, to join a circle of filmmakers who have walked the path, and now shape the future.
What is WTCO?
We, The Chosen Ones (WTCO), is more than a name. It’s a legacy of trust, vision, and excellence.
Here, travel fatigue and endless Zoom calls give way to a digital sanctuary — a place where creativity flows naturally, and stories are honored at their highest level.

How Does WTCO Work?

- Once invited, members confirm their place and embark on a seamless digital onboarding

- They sign a simple NDA to protect the magic and trust that holds this collective together
- Their profiles, headshots, and filmographies are shared across FFTG platforms, celebrating their unique journey
Why WTCO?
Not everyone is called. Only those whose films have captured something exceptional — a spark that sets them apart — are whispered the invitation.
WTCO is a nod from destiny, a seal of respect from fellow filmmakers who understand the sacrifices, the dreams, and the relentless pursuit of truth through cinema.
It’s a journey from the humble beginnings of official selection to the rare honor of becoming a guardian of storytelling itself.
Join the Story
WTCO isn’t just about judging films. It’s about shaping the future of storytelling itself.
Destiny invites those rare few who see beyond the obvious, who lift new voices, and who craft the cinematic legacies of tomorrow.
Because, after all, the screenplay of our lives is already written — we just don’t know the next scene.
