Dear Urbanfit,
Exciting News: The Adventures Of C.J. Shines Bright!
I'm thrilled to share that The Adventures Of C.J. has been recognized as an OFFICIAL SEMI-FINALIST at FilmHaus 2025! This achievement is a significant milestone in our journey, and it deserves to be celebrated!
The Competition This Year: A Record-Breaking Year!
This year marks our 6th consecutive year of the competition, and let me tell you, it has never been more intense! Your work stood out among 1,886 submissions from 86 countries—our largest and most diverse field yet! Just to put things into perspective, only 146 projects were recognized as semi-finalists from this massive pool. This places your work among those who reached advanced competition rounds. Here’s a quick breakdown of the competition:
1,471 submissions completed initial review and evaluation.
146 semi-finalists advanced to deeper evaluation ← your achievement!
232 nominees were recognized for outstanding merit (top 12%).
76 selectees earned Official Jury Selection status (top 4%).
37 winners achieved top honors (top 2%).
Your Recognition: A Testament to Your Talent!
Reaching this stage demonstrates that your work resonated with our jury during the evaluation process. You advanced beyond the initial review against a global field that included remarkable productions. This year's competition featured feature films with Academy Award winners like Morgan Freeman in GUNNER, Emmy-nominated talent such as Eric Roberts in KRUZ', and high-profile documentaries like Zef: The Story of Die Antwoord. The caliber of work our jury evaluated was truly exceptional!
While The Adventures Of C.J. did not advance to nominee status, your semi-finalist recognition reflects your unwavering commitment to the craft. The competition was extraordinarily fierce at every level, with our jury facing tough decisions throughout the selection process.
