Slamdance Film Festival

by filmmakers, for filmmakers

About Me

Slamdance Screenplay Competition is now accepting scripts!

The Slamdance Film Festival is dedicated to new filmmakers. We accept films in every genre, on any topic from every country around the world. Our mission is to bring attention to the most talented emerging filmmakers, showcasing their work in the media frenzy of festival week in Park City, Utah.

Started in 1995 by a group of independent artists, the Slamdance Film Festival continues to be organized and programmed exclusively by filmmakers, for filmmakers.

We've also expanded our ventures to include the popular Slamdance.com website, writing competitions for both screenplays and teleplays, the Anarchy Online Short Film Competition, a $99 Special short film production project, a Games competition and the newly announced Slamdance Horror Screenplay Competition, where an annual chosen script is guaranteed to be produced as a feature film.

My Interests

Raising the bar, crossing the tees, dotting the eyes, saving the girl, walking the plank, shooting the breeze, breaking the ground, talking the jive, pushing the envelope, highing the five, battening the hatches, capturing the flag and lite jazz.

I'd like to meet:

Independent, alternative artists. But not in the freaky way. Well, maybe a little bit in the freaky way.

Music:

Past Slamdance musicians have included The Roots, Moby, Guns N' Roses, Mike Doughty, Sheryl Crow, and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. How you like them apples...

Movies:

Mama don't pick favorites.
