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

Indestructible was one of the big hits of Festivus ’08. The film chronicles the challenges of filmmaker Ben Byers from diagnosis of ALS to present time. This was the only film to receive 5/5 from every screener on the Festivus screening panel. Festivus donated $200 dollars to the Indestructible production fund, and I would urge everyone out there to see this incredible film. Check out their website: www.indestructiblefilm.com
Opens in Madison on May 2, LA on May 16.
