TECHNICAL PRESENTATION:
The technical exhibition side of the Junktown Film Festival is something the festival holds near and dear to its heart. Taken seriously at every aspect of submission, we have a deep understanding of how the presentation of a film can affect the way the audience connects with the story and visuals. We go to great lengths to ensure your film is played with the same quality that your team achieved when completing post production. Our technical staff has many years of experience, not only from the various productions hosted at the Historic Avalon Theater, but also from the committee’s involvement as filmmakers themselves.
The Grand Junction Film Festival reserves the right to use film stills and portions of accepted films for promotional purposes.
