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
