Film Festival Entry Fees

Donation protected


We recently just wrapped a short film that we are very exited about. Our plan is to enter it into as many festivals as we fit the criteria for. "BEFORE MY EYES" is a short film starring Ryan Williams (Vaughan, Smell) and Pat Gallaher (Stranger Things 3, Vaughan, Average Joe), and is based on a concept told to me by my Dad before he passed away of Stage 4 Lung Cancer.



As you may or may not know, most festivals charge fees for entries. To get this film as much exposure as possible we have selected about 35 festivals including Sundance, Slamdance, and other major and regional festivals as well as some international festivals.



The current total we are trying to raise is $600.00 USD assuming we can meet all the early deadlines. Some festivals raise their prices for later deadlines.



With your help we can get this amazing film, the actors, crew, and everyone involved seen by potentially THOUSANDS of people.

Most festival entries can run anywhere from $5.00 up to $80.00. We have a very fleshed out plan as to which festivals we will be submitting for and that total will help us enter each one. If we happen to raise more than our goal, then we will submit the film to more festivals until the funds run out.

Other than knowing that you have helped out tremendously and have our utmost appreciation, we will offer you digital copies of the film for your personal leisure as well as a special credit on the Official IMDB Page  page for the film.

Quick backstory and passion for this project:

A few years before my Dad passed away, he came to me with an idea for a film that he thought would make for a great story. At the time I was not in a position to be able to make it. Shortly after he passed away, I tried to think of ways to get the film done as a tribute to my Dad.

He passed away on my birthday in 2016. He was cremated, and it has always bothered me that he will be one of the first members of my family to not have a proper headstone for future generations to visit. I thought by making this film, that while he might not have a headstone, his name would live on permanently as part of the IMDB and independent film history.

After finding the most passionate cast and crew members I could put together, we set out and made this film. I would like to have his name seen on screens all over the world through the film festivals. This film was based on his idea. We made this for him.
