“What a great opportunity for young filmmakers to show their craft for good causes. Everybody wins!”
“The Wild West Film Fest has been bringing it to the Lawrence film scene. It is one of the best examples of what filmmakers are looking for in a festival.”
“The Wild West Film Fest puts filmmaking back into the hands of the people. It’s indy film in it’s purest, grittiest form. A great opportunity for local filmmakers to get their work seen by audiences.”
Hi, could someone post what time the doors will open and what time the screenings will start on July 24th?
If you’re going to assign different genres, why not just make it a general “art” competition. Allow paintings and music and interpretive dance. Let’s see judges compare apples to oranges to doorknobs.
Sounds like someone didn’t get the genre they wanted
