call-for-entries THE INDIE GATHERING INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

Hey guys, I've been attending the Indie Gathering International Film Festival for several years now. It is the most unique and fun fest experience I have. It's like summer camp for adult filmmakers. There is definitely an emphasis on the networking and social side. The next fest in Cleveland, Ohio will be the 29th annual festival. The call for entries opened up and added new animation categories and STUDENT DISCOUNTS for the first time ever.

I've been there several times over the years and won at various levels. Best was when my feature Surviving Family won the audience favorite award, although my husband was our rep at that one because I was showing it on the west coast that week :)

I've always enjoyed the festival and met people there who I've kept in touch with for many years. Hoping to have something ready to submit this year.
 
The Early Bird Submission period ends December 22nd, so the lowest price is ending soon.


I won First Place: Crime Drama at Indie Gathering many years ago.
Two weeks before the festival I got a gig so couldn't attend. And
I had purchased airline tickets and a hotel room. I wanted to be
there.

It's never too late! We're trying to elevate the festival without losing what makes it awesome.
