History
The Almost Famous Film Festival originated in 2005 with a
48 Hour Short Film Challenge that became an overnight success. Riding this wave of momentum, the A3F in just three years has become one of the largest and most successful 48 hour film events in the country.
Based in Phoenix, Arizona ... the A3F attracts filmmakers from Arizona, California, Texas, Nevada and Colorado. With the addition of the
24 Hour Challenge and
All-Stars event in the fall of 2007, the A3F continues to expand and give filmmakers more opportunities to make films and participate in educational workshops and lectures throughout the year.
The first annual
A3F Short Film Festival premiers in 2008 and will give filmmakers across the world the opportunity to showcase their talents and skills to a wider audience.
The
mission statement of the A3F is to put the filmmakers first. We accomplish this by running a festival that caters to the needs of its participants and audience. We keep our entry fees affordable, give away A3F goodies at screenings and events, hand out prizes and awards at the public screenings, and attract sponsors that have a direct interest in indie filmmaking and its surrounding community.
Most importantly, we answer all of your emails and questions in a prompt manner, solicit your advice on how to improve our events and maintain our number one priority...to make you
Almost Famous!
Sincerely,
Jae Staats
Director of A3F
