This film fest was created to celebrate genre films of all kinds that tend not to have too many outlets on the festival circuit. Being filmmakers ourselves, we know the work that goes into making a film so our entry fees are low and we have a lot of rewards to give out. We are a film fest made by and for filmmakers.

    I submitted my film "The one hundred" to Anti-Hero because the story is about how 2 people's lives changed after taking $100 they should not have. I am so thrilled that the film is selected for screening. This is a great festival.

    We really loved the Anti-Hero Fest. Edward, the director, is a filmmaker who lovingly curates a festival full of hidden gems. The atmosphere is great, the networking is excellent, and the selection is well curated. Lots of fun.
