The TRAIL DANCE FILM FESTIVAL introduces up-and-coming filmmakers from around the globe to Oklahoma's emergent film industry, and provides a welcoming forum to showcase films...all amidst a beautiful Western landscape.
Named one of 25 festivals "Worth the Entry Fee" by MovieMaker Magazine, Trail Dance offers distribution opportunities through Hastings Entertainment, Inc. Winning films are given the chance to be part of a Trail Dance DVD compilation, available at over 250 Hastings locations for one year. What's more, Hastings distribution execs often attend Festival screenings and meet with selected filmmakers.
Trail Dance concludes with a grand awards gala and reception, where custom sculpted Golden Drover Awards are presented to winning filmmakers, and one lucky high school student will be awarded a $2000 scholarship to pursue a career in filmmaking.
MISSION AND OBJECTIVE
The Trail Dance Film Festival encourages originality and creativity in film, and promotes the film industry in Oklahoma.
MORE ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Many Trail Dance films have since received distribution, including Bill Sebastian's MIDLOTHIA, and JOHNNY WAS (the first-ever submission to Trail Dance) which was picked up by Starz. Golden Drover Award-winner Jon Sajetowski (DONNYBROOK) went on to direct ABC's "Wife Swap," and Best Actor David Lawrence (MY NAME IS WALLACE) recently booked a recurring role on NBC's "Heroes."
The event includes vendor presentations, live entertainment, seminars with film veterans, and more. New this year is the Filmmaker Luncheon, where artists are treated to a buffet-style meal with special guest presenters, and 2008 guests will include Heather Langenkamp-Anderson of NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET fame. In 2007 (only its second year), Trail Dance was honored with a prestigious Redbud Award for Outstanding New Event at the Oklahoma Governors Conference on Tourism.

All we wanted to do is get a few butts in the seats and make some people laugh. But to take home 3 awards and have people constantly coming up to us, gushing about our film, wanting autographs, we seriously felt like Rock Stars after our screening on Saturday all the way until the end of the festival.
Because of you, I can now call myself an "Award Winning Filmmaker".
If I ever get famous I promise you that I will do everything in my power to get the word out about this festival. I plan on being back. The city was great, the venue was great, and the festival was incredible.
Thank you so much for everything,
Jason W. Schaver
