The Billy the Kid Outlaw Film Festival challenges creative filmmakers to take the trail less traveled — to explore the lives of the disenfranchised, the broken, and the outcast. When you think of the outlaw, think of the stories that need to be told.

And we’re not just talking about a stand-off in the wild west — tell us stories of any character who goes against the grain.
