This is the sixteenth international film festival, across ten countries, that has selected the film and the fifth festival for the film in the USA.
The film has also received six nominations for awards at the festival. Nominations include: Best Feature, Best Soundtrack, Best Song (two songs were nominated in this category), Best Poster and Best Trailer.
The festival runs from January 7 in Biloxi, near New Orleans.
"Once again, we are honoured and humbled by our selection and nominations." Chris said.
"We have learned from our travels just how competitive the international film festival circuit is and how difficult it is to be selected.
"We hope that Doctor Moron will wow them in Biloxi as he has done in nine other countries around the world."
The Dockrills are unable to attend the festival as Chris is in the final weeks of rehearsals leading up to the premiere of his latest play, Flame Trees, which opens at The Bandbox Theatre and will run from February 1 to 16.
Tickets are available online at TicketHost or in person at Coastline Credit Union and Hourglass Jewellers.
