Hey folks, Harry here - The 3rd Annual FANTASTIC FEST is being announced!!! Right here, Right Now! Woo-hoo! Below you'll find out the hows to get your film seen at Fantastic Fest - last year was amazing and hopefully this year, your films will help it be even moreso! So get to submitting!
FANTASTIC FEST IS BACK
Dates have been announced for the 3rd Annual Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas, September 20-27. Fantastic Fest is fast becoming the premiere genre film festival in the United States, but don't take our word for it, take it from some of this year's attendees.
"Considering Fantastic Fest is in its infancy, it has already established a solid reputation on the global festival circuit as a world leader: the ace in the pack of cards. With an awesome list of guests and movies, Fantastic Fest also has the best cinema in the world, period: "The Alamo". Founder Tim League has succeeded a mission impossible with a bruiser of a movie festival with a touch of genuine Texan hospitality. Take my word for it: Fantastic Fest rocks our planet."
- Jay Slater, journalist, HOT DOG MAGAZINE UK
"The best film festival I've ever been to, at the best theater in the world. Everyone at Fantastic Fest really cared about the filmmakers, and worked incredibly hard to make every screening memorable. Thanks to everyone for making this first-time short film director feel like a Hollywood superstar." - Phil Mucci, director, THE LISTENING DEAD
"I attend a solid handful of film festivals every year -- and Fantastic Fest was (far and away) one of the most entertaining trips I've ever taken. From fest-head Tim League down to the part-timiest festival volunteer, these folks were absolutely sterling. If you have even a passing interest in films best described as horror, sci-fi, fantasy or "plain old weird," I could not recommend Fantastic Fest highly enough. In only its second year of existence, FF looks to be one of North America's premiere genre festivals -- and I can only imagine what the 2007 event will look like." - Scott Weinberg, journalist, CINEMATICAL

I guess not. It would have been nice if I had gotten some kind of response last year. Something like: "Your movie is shit and we don't want it!"
After all I've sent 20 bucks which is more than my film costed. You can watch it here (for 0$) www.zombiewestern.de -
Now that I have films to show, I was starting to wonder which fests to take a stab at, damn this sounds like a good one. I hope they dig magical realism/horror/film noir...

sorry

I will definitely be submitting my film, "number seventy four in e-flat" it will be finishing right at the final deadline, so we better hurry up the post! i hope we are able to make it into this fest, as I think it would be a perfect showcase for the film, check out more info at www.eflat74.com (new web page coming soon)

I'm going to attempt to get my short into the Austin Film Festival as well. I'm finishing my project way too late to hit anything else "decent" this year.
