We’re excited to announce that our “Craft of Speed” MOONEYES Documentary is nominated for “Best Feature Documentary” at the 2025 International Motor Film Awards. The black-tie awards gala will take place on Thursday, 10/2/2025 at the majestic Alexandra Palace’s Victorian Theatre and East Court in London.
The prestigious International Motor Film Awards, which has been running for 13 years, is a relatively young awards competition. In this short time, they have become the premiere automotive film awards—“the Oscars of the motoring world.”
We’re deeply honored by this nomination. There are so many great automotive films being produced each year, including feature dramas and documentaries, short dramas and documentaries, commercial and promotional films, journalism and event films, and more. To be nominated along with the other talented nominees, who are all passionate about cars and motorcycles, is humbling.
To be seen by the public and even selected by a respected film festival or awards competition, whether it’s an automotive one or not, is a difficult feat. Every year, there are more than 11,000 submissions to the venerable Sundance Film Festival, which is a good indication of the amount of films being produced annually. This doesn’t include commercial or promotional films or journalism and event films. It also doesn’t include what is known as “content” on social media. In many ways, they are all competing for not just industry awards but more so public attention.
We’re deeply grateful to MOONEYES Owner Shige Suganuma, MOONEYES President USA Chico Kodama, Dean Moon Jr., and the entire MOONEYES family; our talented crew, including Producer/Co-Director of Photography Tuan Tran, Composer Sven Faulconer, Co-Composer Anthony Loomis, Sound Supervisor/Sound Designer & Editor/Foley Artist Jeff Hutchins, Dialogue Editor/Re-Recording Mixer Bruce Greenspan, and Design Director/Graphic Designer Sven Igawa; our Fiscal Sponsor, the respected International Documentary Association; all our generous grantors, donors, and supporters; and MOONEYES fans worldwide.
