That already happens, even in this set of Ursa Major nominees.
Mascot Fur Life was entered in several independent film festivals and, looking at their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/mascotfurlife/) won an award at IndieFest Film Awards and 40. Grenzlandfilmtage Selb. The frustrating thing is that the Ursa Majors have shown that the furry community doesn't actually care that much about furry films and supporting them.
Mascot Fur Life and Bitter Lake were both produced within the fandom with a mostly or entirely fursuited cast and have served to push furry film making forward. Both of them failed to win Ursa Major Awards because most furs cared more about mainstream, commercialised products than rewarding furry efforts.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
