Fiscal Sponsorship

Did you know that Festivus Film Festival has a fiscal sponsorship program? It’s just another tool we’re using to help filmmakers get their projects made. We’re able to provide a tax deduction for your funding sources as extra incentive for their investment in your film. Recently, we fiscally sponsored The Battle of Darla Ryder, an exciting new project from some of our staffers. If you’re interested in learning more, contact us at info@festivusfilmfestival.com

SPONSORS

Interested in becoming a partner? As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we offer a variety of opportunities for brand alignment. From year to year we retain more than 75% of our partners because businesses value their relationship with us. Contributions are tax-deductible. Send us an email today and find out more!

Laugh Track Comedy Fest

If you didn’t know already, we also run a comedy-only fest, Laugh Track Comedy Fest. It’s a unique mixture of stand-up comics and short films. Not only that, but we’re Denver’s ONLY comedy fest.

Today’s Featured Movie- Wings of Silver: The Vi Cowden Story

by johnathan

They were never formally recognized, received no military benefits, many Americans don’t even know that they exist – yet today, women’s place in this country might be very different if Vi Cowden, and the 1073 other women like her hadn’t been willing to do the job they did. A story of triumph and inspiration over adversity, Vi and her fellow Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) were not only crucial to the war effort during WWII, they also changed the course of Women’s history.

Filmmakers Mark and Christine Bonn are returning filmmakers. They won Best Documentary Short at Festivus Film Festival 2008, and we are thrilled to have them back!Wings of Silver: The Vi Cowden Story screens at 1:00pm Sunday January 17 at The Bug.
This screening is a WORLD PREMIERE!!
