SNOB (Somewhat North Of Boston) Film Festival

The SNOB (Somewhat North of Boston) Film Festival is a grassroots effort to showcase and support independent filmmaking. It strives to bring films to the area that local audiences might not otherwise see. This year we are launching New England Indie Fest. Come check out what this new brand is all about.

Hello Filmmakers. We have had several delays this summer. But the "Show must still go on." We are going to have an extremely short window to accept, review, and pick this year's films. Look at facebook for deals to save money.

Here is a little more about the festival for those who don't know us...

The SNOB (Somewhat North of Boston) Film Festival is excited to be bringing its 18th season of exceptional independent film to audiences from Concord, New Hampshire and beyond. This year, we hope to again highlight films with a positive message, while including some offbeat comedy, and other more dramatic genres.

My friend and I had a truly unforgettable experience at SNOB Film Fest this year. We met some very talented filmmakers and saw some incredible films during our time at the festival. Everything was so professionally run by Jay Doherty and his team. I look forward to submitting more content next year and the years to come!!

The SNOB Film Festival has been a favorite of mine since our first entry was selected in 2012. Since then, our films have appeared several times over the years. The festival takes place at the Red Rive Theater in Concord NH. The seats are full and the audience is always enthusiastic. Festival Director, Jay Doherty does his best to communicate and accommodate filmmakers and does a great job with post film Q&A. The filmmakers are encouraged to network and several festival events provide a good opportunity to do so. It is always a great experience for all involved.
This year was especially exciting for us because our film "Chemistry Read" won Best Short Comedy"!

Sadly unable to attend in person, there was very good communication with/from the festival; I'm honoured my written/directed film "Bucky" was an official selection: I look forward to submitting future project/s to SNOB once said projects are made.

SNOB gets better each and every year. The quality of films this year was incredible and the hosts are the best. Jay, Derrick and the rest of the volunteers bend over backwards to make a great experience for filmmakers and audiences alike.
