We, The Chosen Ones® is our official jury, made entirely of FFTG’s own past filmmakers, nominees and winners from every year.
It starts the same for everyone: a film submitted, one more name in the stack. For a moment, they were like everyone else. Then they were seen.
Once their films were seen. Now they see.
This invitation-only program gives creators a unique inside view of what makes a story stand out. They:
- Watch and decide who enters the next edition
- Shape which films rise — not just win
- Learn from global voices, techniques, and styles
- Elevate their own storytelling in the process
Because this isn’t just a jury. It’s a circle — where filmmakers lift filmmakers, and those with a story to tell help surface the next ones.

WTCO isn’t just about judging films. It’s about what happens when filmmakers watch each other’s work. In that seat, they recognize new voices, carry them forward, and expand their own horizons.
Because every film reveals something you didn’t know you were waiting to see.
