Having learned and mastered Source Filmmaker's tools, many users have created plenty of masterful films through them. Valve has even encouraged players to take advantage of the software by holding an annual Source Filmmaker film festival called the Saxxy Awards. The awards are divided among five different genres: action, comedy, drama, shorts, and extended films. One out of four nominees in a given genre is chosen for the Saxxy Award, and then one overall winner is chosen among the nominees of all five genres. The 2015 Saxxy Award's last overall winner was "Turbulence," an entry from the "extended" category that sets the characters of Team Fortress 2 (Valve, 2007) in a fierce airplane race.
