Screening this Saturday Night!
Two weeks ago, we had a record number of teams sign up for the Wild West Film Festival. 48 hours of labor and hard work went in to each film, and it shows.
Starting at 7:00 pm Saturday we will be screening the top 27 at Liberty Hall in Lawrence. Tickets are only $7 for general public and $5 for students. We will also have a costume contests during the festival, so dress for super success! The most heroic hero or vile villain will receive a cash prize and a DVD of the films.
Last night was the Lawrence round of judging. The judges were blown away by the quality of films this year. Along with the typical gang of local judges, we also enjoyed the company of local comic book writer Jai Nitz. He has written several comics for D.C. and Marvel. He is currently working on Hollywood movie comic tie-ins, such as the upcoming Green Hornet.
The judging may be almost over, but remember- every film is up for people’s choice.

“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.”
Tip# 1 for a more successful film fest.
Please update your site in a more timely manner. One… it will help “sell” the festival for those who are interested. Two…for those responsible people with jobs who have a schedule either set in stone or set 1-2 months in advance it would be nice to know the dates and times this film fest will take place so they can responsibly plan and take days off if need be to be able to partake in the festival.
Tip# 3 For a more successful film fest:
When you state that you will have the judges comments, compliments, and criticisms on the films out during the week following the festival you should probably do that. It is now the end of the week and people are still waiting… Promptness and being on time just shows a little respect for others.
