Austin Indie Fest
International Independent Entry Level Film Festival
We are a festival focused on ONE thing - you, the Independent Filmmaker !
FRIDAY SPOTLIGHT: Science Fiction & Fantasy, Cult Classics/Worst Films and Horror!
SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT: Short Films, Documentaries and Features from around the globe. Special Focus: Veterans in Film.
SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT: A FULL DAY focused on Women in Film!
AUSTIN INDIE FEST fills a major gap, finding a place for new film makers who want to compete in a high quality Film Festival, but aren't quite ready for large festivals like: SUNDANCE, CANNES, AFI, SXSW or the Austin Film Festival!
NO FAVORITES, NO CLIQUES - JUST GREAT INDIE FILMS!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) SCREENING BLOCKS: Every Screening Block is INTERACTIVE! YOU HAVE THE CHANCE to talk with the audience and other filmmakers at the end of your assigned block.
2) TICKETS: Tickets can be purchased for the following:
----- Just your Screening Block (no need for cast/crew/family members to buy a whole festival ticket)
----- One Day (during the Interactive part of the festival)
----- The Entire Weekend (during the interactive part of the festival)
----- One Day (After the fest has wrapped. No interactivity will be available)
3) "TRAILERS": Bingewave this week started automatically creating "Trailers" for each film, but they're more of a snapshot into your film, not an actual trailer. We don't have any control over this. It's a feature that they added that we have mixed feelings on here at the fest.
4) DAILY SCREENINGS: Each day of the festival has a particular focus:
- Friday (Sci-Fi/Fan Films/Horror and "Worst Films")
- Saturday (Everything under the sun with a focus on Veterans in Film)
- Sunday (Women in Film)
Each film can be watched at any time and in any order with a FESTIVAL PASS or DAY AFTER TICKET
5) AWARDS: We will hold our awards ceremony on Sunday at 7pm Texas time (Central Standard)
Awards and Winning Laurels will be electronically sent out after the fest over the next couple of weeks (we have a holiday this week in the US.)
6) The Virtual site is live and we're experiencing it for the first time with you! It's a new learning curve for us, so if there are any hangups, please be patient! We're here to help you!
If you'd like to hear us talk about it all, watch the video on our site!
