Call for Submissions – Austin Film Festival

Known as the “Writers Festival” since its inception in 1993, Austin Film Festival recognizes the importance of narrative at the core of filmmaking. Without a good story, movies might just be sound and fury.

By celebrating the work of storytellers; those committed to crafting intricate worlds, fully-formed characters, and diverse perspectives, AFF bolsters its reputation as a champion for the creator.

The AFF Film Competition is here to bring independent filmmakers and their films into the spotlight. Whether your dream is to sign a contract, land an agent, learn from an industry icon, or take home the coveted Bronze Typewriter Award, it’s simple: you can’t win if you don’t enter.

And we’re hoping to make that entry easier for students. You can use the code: TNSAFF on FilmFreeway for a $25 submission. Submit here: https://filmfreeway.com/AustinFilmFestival and we can’t wait to see them! Any questions, feel free to reach out to programming@austinfilmfestival.com.
