GainesCon Film Festival - Las Vegas is here!!
This is an international film festival geared to the diversity and wonderment of the independent Action, Sci-Fi and Horror filmmaker which is held both virtually and in-person.
As moviemakers myself, I understand the difficulty in completing any film of any size. And I know it’s not just about how much money was spent on a project, but how it was told. It’s about the story and heart applied that brings the audience into your world. Which is why I have a slew of categories for you to apply for.
Within the spirit of independent creativity of all levels, I made a category called “No Budget, No Problem”. This is designed to showcase content with budgets less than $1500.00. When all you have is your passion to tell a story, this ones for you.
You can also send in your screenplay. There is nothing like sitting back and being entertained by the power of the pen!
Having all these amazing content under one event won’t be fitting unless there was a way to award those with exceptional material. So have I created THE DRAGON AWARDS! This beautiful trophy was designed by an amazing illustrator, David Jennings from Ireland with each hand painted by my makeup artist Mrs. Faith Rios, which makes each Dragon unique. It is to convey the strength, passion and vision that goes into every art we create.
