FANTASTIC FEST call for entries

Austin has a lot of film festivals, but if it’s first year is any indication, Fantastic Fest is the most fun. I was lucky enough to attend last year and I had more fun than I’ve ever had at a film festival. The movies were amazing, the parties were fun, the beer was flowing and I met a lot of people from all over the world who shared a love of crazy, genre films.

For it’s second year, Fantastic Fest is expanding from a weekend to EIGHT days. This means they can show more movies, which brings us to the real point of this post. The Fest has posted a CALL FOR ENTRIES.

The Fantastic Fest is currently accepting submissions for the 2006 Festival. Entry fee for Feature Length Films (50 min. or longer): $30.00; entry fee for Short Films (less than 30 min.): $20.00. All shorts and features must be postmarked by July 15, 2006. Generate tremendous exposure for your film and meet industry professionals from aquisition, production, distribution, exhibition, print, web, radio and TV media. Visiting filmmakers will also be treated to a number of day trips and evening VIP parties at Texas landmarks such as Smitty’s BBQ, the Shiner brewery, Donn’s Depot and the Broken Spoke.
