We are thrilled to announce that our upcoming film festival will take place at the Vintage Paris Coffee Shop, located at 7900 Historic Hwy 165, Hollister, MO 65672, on September 19th. This event is specifically designed to spotlight local film enthusiasts from the Ozarks region. It's a fantastic opportunity for both beginning and seasoned filmmakers to showcase their creative talents, connect with like-minded individuals, and engage with the local cultural scene. Moreover, we are proud to share that this year’s festival will also serve as a charity event. All proceeds will be donated to Elevate Branson to support their incredible work in our community. Be sure to mark your calendars and join us for a celebration of cinematic artistry in the heart of our community, all while supporting a noble cause. We hope to start around 6:30 p.m.

Lastly, it's important to note that winners of the festival must be present to receive their physical laurels. These awards are not only a symbol of your achievement but also a testament to your dedication and passion for filmmaking. Being there in person to accept your laurel will be a memorable part of the celebration, acknowledging your hard work and success before the community and peers. We look forward to seeing the incredible films you'll bring to the screen and celebrating your creativity and hard work at the festival!

In order to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone, we have established a few important guidelines for submissions. Each film project must be under 10 minutes in length. Additionally, to maintain a family-friendly environment, we require that submissions do not contain any profanity or graphic content. Apart from these stipulations, filmmakers have full autonomy over the content of their projects. This is your chance to express your vision and voice in filmmaking without constraints on the thematic or narrative direction of your piece.
