DEAR FILMMAKERS completing a BRILLIANT SHORT FILM!
The Utah Arts Festival is one of the largest, most culturally rich artistic showcases in the western United States. The works celebrated at the festival stretch well beyond the borders of Utah, exposing over 80,000 festival-goers to a diverse collection of contemporary yet traditional, challenging yet accessible, thought provoking yet fun range of works over four frenetic days every June.
The Fear No Film Festival aims to celebrate a similar range of artistic excellence.
Last June, Fear No Film presented 63 diverse short films grouped according to the emotion it was likely to elicit from the audience. Screenings included "Movies that will make me feel HAPPY," "Movies that will make me feel UNSETTLED," and "Movies that will make me feel SUBCULTURED."
Keep in mind this is Utah. We here in Utah have been attending and participating in outstanding film festivals long before "independent" meant Paris Hilton and U2 in 3D. Audiences are appreciative and extremely well versed in the very, very best the world of independent cinema has to offer.
We all feel very strongly that the Fear No Film Festival is a place for fearless filmmakers to be showcased and we will do anything we can to support the films and filmmakers that became part of our family and our history in 2008.
