The ZONE Film Festival is a place for filmmakers from all over the world to share SCI-FI and FANTASY films with a diverse and varied audience. We hope to create a platform where these projects can reach the widest audience possible and have the deepest impact possible. To do so we have partnered with the LARGEST convention of its kind in the state of TEXAS, COMiCPALOOZA! With over 33,000 in attendance last year, almost 50,000 expected this year, a ton of celebrities, industry people, artists, writers, cosplayers, geeks, nerds, fans and now filmmakers, and film fans, this is the best possible venue to screen and promote your Sci-Fi/Fantasy films in front of a REAL and potentially very large audience!!!
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!! We Will NO LONGER ACCEPT FAN FILMS! If you have a Fan Film, please submit to our newest Film Festival "Extended Universes", which can be found here.
