Join us in promoting the art and crafting of filmmaking!
With your help as a sponsor or in-kind donor we can foster the creation and passion of filmmaking in South Dakota.
The festival will kick off Friday night with a feature film and opening reception; short-film blocks and panels will run all day Saturday, followed by a repertory screening of something fun late night; and Sunday we’ll round out with a few final screenings and a local production panel.
Here are four ways you can get involved in the big-screen action:
Become a Festival Sponsor
Among other perks, our sponsors will receive great publicity before, during, and after our festival.
At our Award Nom level and higher, sponsors are welcome to contribute a :30-second slide or video to be part of our preshow that will play in front of all features and short-film blocks throughout the festival. Your business or organization can promote an upcoming event, special festival deal, or general services.
Sponsor an Individual Event
The festival offers the opportunity for filmmakers to network during the opening reception, panel discussions, and workshops. You can sponsor a time slot, workshop, or short-film block.
Make an In-kind Contribution
Your in-kind donation will assist with promoting the festival, providing gifts to filmmakers, or offering attendees perks throughout the weekend.
Volunteer
We invite individuals and businesses to join the fun and help with the festivities. Sign up here to work a festival day or just during your sponsored event block.
