About
ICVM
ICVM serves the Christian film and media industry through events and membership that bring together storytellers, distributors, and investors. For over 50 years, ICVM has hosted the Annual Storytellers Conference, Crown Awards, Christian Film Market, Script to Story Pitch-A-Thon, and expanding to virtual events that serve our international community.
ICVM is a community of Christians involved in bringing the message of Christ to the world through the use of media. As an organization, we are committed to bringing together like-minded individuals with the same passion, and helping our members multiply their effectiveness through every possible opportunity.
ICVM started with the advent of the Christian film industry. Many companies formed to meet the demand of more and better quality dramatic movies with a spiritual emphasis. Children’s videos started to proliferate as more and more parents became frustrated with what was coming out of Hollywood.
Today ICVM is a consortium of producers and distributors making a difference in the world through visual media. The ICVM membership family includes media organizations and media missionaries as well as individual video producers, independent writers, directors, actors and even some individuals who are simply interested in supporting Christian films and filmmakers.
Whatever your niche, we ask you to prayerfully consider joining this group who will encourage you to fulfill God’s call for your life.
