WELCOME

ATTN: FEST DATE CHANGE

by johnathan

Folks, we pride ourselves on offering a quality experience for both our audience and our filmmakers. To ensure that we continue to abide by these high standards into our sixth season, we have made the decision to move the festival to February 20-24. There were a variety of circumstances that influenced our decision, and this is not something we took lightly.
We believe this is the best thing for the festival, for our fans, and for our filmmakers. We apologize that you’ll have to wait an extra month for the fest, but we promise the extra wait will be worth it!

New banner ad

We’re excited about our awesome new banner ad going up on Withoutabox.com! You’ll probably see it from time to time over there. We’re always looking for new ways to get the word out about the fest, and thought we’d try one of these out this year. What do you think?

Searching for Sonny makes the rounds

by johnathan

Last year’s Best Picture, Searching for Sonny, has been cleaning up on the fest circuit since it’s screening at Festivus 2012. With a dynamite cast, fantastic direction, and incredible writing, we expected no less. Check out this article about the film’s arrival at a fest coming up in Victoria, Texas (home state of Red Productions, the crew behind the film.) It’s a great piece focusing on superstar-to-be director Andrew Disney.

Who’s that pretty lady with the big idea and the Kate Moss cheekbones? It’s Kate O’Neill, our new Program Manager! Kate’s been with the festival for years now, previously as our Volunteer Coordinator and member of the screening team. We’re excited that she has moved into this new and exciting role, and are confident she will do an excellent job. If you happen to see her around be sure to give her a pat on the back for being awesome. Congrats on the new spot Kate!
