I'm thrilled to share that Operation Jaguar has won Best Super Short Film at the Future of Film Awards – September 2025 Edition.
This marks our first festival win in Europe, and more specifically in North Macedonia, where the festival is based. It’s an exciting moment for our team as the film continues its global journey, following its Grand Jury Prize win in Los Angeles earlier this year.
The Future of Film Awards is a dynamic monthly competition that celebrates innovation and creativity in independent cinema, offering visibility to emerging filmmakers worldwide. You can learn more about their platform here on FilmFreeway.
Operation Jaguar was written, directed, and produced across borders in a unique remote collaboration between artists from Mexico, the United States, and the UK. The film was shot entirely on smartphones and showcases the power of guerrilla filmmaking blended with spy-thriller cinematic flair.
