SCREEN ATX was born out of dedication to the film and television industry and an affinity for the craft. Based in Austin TX, a growing hub for the big and small screen, our mission is is to support, showcase, and celebrate the work of emerging and established filmmakers.
With our years of experience in the entertainment industry and a global network of TV & Film executives, we are committed to helping filmmakers elevate their careers. Having been on the festival circuit with our own films, we witnessed favors being pulled, nepotism, and priority given to bigger budget films with star names.
SCREEN ATX judges watch every submission and rate solely on talent and quality of work. We know the dedication and passion that goes into your films and award those deserving of recognition, not because of who they are or who they may know!
SCREEN ATX will take place in 2024 (exact date TBC.).
In addition to film screenings, there will be filmmaker Q&As, industry expert panels, and an awards ceremony.
All official selections will screen publicly on a large cinema screen in front of a live audience.
Best Feature, Best Short, and Screen ATX Best of Fest will receive trophies in addition to laurels. All other award winners will receive certificates.
