We had a record number of teams signing up last night, way to go! Now teams have 48 hours to write, shoot and edit with the following criteria:
Wild West made news this morning in the Topeka Capital Journal. You can find the article here: http://cjonline.com/news/local/2010-06-26/relax_topeka_its_only_a_movie
May this be a reminder to teams to be safe this weekend.
“What a great opportunity for young filmmakers to show their craft for good causes. Everybody wins!”
- Dee Wallace

“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.”
- Kevin Willmott
Director, CSA, Ninth Street
“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.”
-Michael McMillian
Actor, Hills Have Eyes 2, Scrubs, True Blood
where do we drop off the film? And what is the time deadline?
Hey B-Jam-just sent you guys an email, but just in case: We have two drop off locations Liberty Hall in Lawrence at 644 Mass Street and Hollywood at Home in Overland Park at 9063 Metcalf Avenue. Film are due no later than 10p.m. tonight. We will be at Liberty Hall tonight between 9:30 and 10:00 if you have any questions.
Good Luck Teams!
Hey, are you going to let teams make their own movie posters that can be sent in to be on display in the lobby during the screening? I remember it being mentioned at the previous festible, maybe.
I like the poster idea, and I love the thought of adding that as a seperate contest! Let the audience decide on best promotional artwork or something…
Thank you and now how do we no if we got in or not????
We will be posting that info tonight! On top of that, all team captions should receive an email with the line up for Saturday Nights show. Judging in Lawrence took place last night and went really well! We are still waiting to hear back from our guest judges from L.A.
As for posters: teams can bring posters if they would like, but we will not be hosting a contest. This October however the poster contest WILL be a part of the Wild West Film Fest!
