Red Dirt Film Festival Returns For a Twelth Season!
April 04-06, 2025 will mark the twelth annual Red Dirt Film Festival, held in Stillwater, OK, offering up dozens of brand-new films and live music. Named one of FilmFreeway's Top 100 Film Festivals out of the nearly 9,000 worldwide, The Red Dirt International Film Festival is where film and music goes to have fun. We love movies and a good time! We are pleased to showcase films, music and screenplays* of many genres. During its 3-day run, we will kick-off our 12th season by featuring a very diverse-selection of genres as we equally love a good comedy, horror film, drama, or documentary. We encourage submissions from directors who will be able to attend the entire festival, as we love to meet and network; forming friendships with fellow filmmakers and screenwriters, and learning from each other is a key part of our festival!
Red Dirt was formed to bring more inspiration, culture, and entertainment to central Oklahoma, as well as to enliven people of all ages through the united power of film and music media. In addition to inspirations both visual and aural, we have parties each evening, workshops, panels, Q&As, live music, networking opportunities and unique special events specific to each new year!
Stillwater is the launchpad for a number of other amazing things such as the world-famous Eskimo Joe's restaurant, musicians such as The All-American Rejects, Garth Brooks, Red Dirt Music; Oklahoma State University, and actors such as James Marsden, and Gary Busey.
Tickets for individual screening blocks, as well as for VIP and multi-day passes for the general public are available for purchase here, as-well as on the festival's website, www.reddirtfilm.com, where T-Shirts are available. Those wishing to purchase passes for the entire festival weekend can save money and also have access to the VIP Meet and Greet event, in-person or online, as well as other bonuses.
We're also excited to be the one of the first American film festivals to feature the 'F-Rating', a designation to set-apart films written, produced, directed, or starring women filmmakers. This is a cause we champion! These F-Rated films will be highlighted in both the printed programmes and the online schedule.
We hope to see you at Red Dirt Film Festival during this year's fest; we look forward to having you as part of our festival to celebrate great film, scripts and music, and to have a lot of fun! Thank You.
In-person attendees at the awards ceremony will receive a certificate and laurels. For those unable to attend,they will be mailed out afterwards. The Hardy award (a gorgeous Red Dirt Film tree statuette), will be available to all winners to purchase at any time later.
