What does Old Towne Film Festival include for filmmakers?

Dan Parks - Festival Director

I created the Old Towne Film Festival to include the things that filmmakers actually need:

  1. Acknowledgment of their attendance

  2. An audience at their film

  3. Actual learning and networking opportunities

  4. Recognition for their hard work

Dan Parks - Festival Director

Because it was created by a filmmaker, the Old Towne Film Festival can give filmmakers what they need.

The Old Towne Film Festival provides four unique things:

  1. Filmmaker / Screenwriter RSVP

    1. If you tell me you’re coming, then I’ll have a spot for you

  2. Reciprocal Attendance

    1. In order to have an audience at every film, it is mandatory for all filmmakers and screenwriters to sign up to view a film that isn’t theirs

  3. Learning & Development

    1. To jumpstart growth, the festival is going to have a Fast Pitch competition where filmmakers and screenwriters will compete in a speed dating style pitch competition

    2. To learn about the industry, a special guest interview will be included

    3. Also, for a chance to flex their own interview muscles, after short film viewing blocks and feature films, filmmakers will be interviewed on a late-night talk show style set

  4. Live Award Show & Fun

    1. To showcase the best films and screenplays, a one-of-a-kind award show will occur on Sunday afternoon

    2. For the fun that we need, the venue will have a bar available for purchase all three nights and there will be a party on Sunday night

The Old Towne Film Festival is going to be different done right.
