About the festival

Indie Film Fest is a multi day, multi venue, indie film festival, in downtown Phoenix, AZ during the beginning of February of each year. Established in 2018 Indie Film Fest hosts sold out screenings, packed music concerts, and an inclusive selection that leaves every audience wanting more. Our Award winners have been announced for 2020, so feel free to check out all off our posts on our social media pages.

In 2020 we saw more than 1000 indie film lovers come out over the 3 day festival in downtown Phoenix. Our festival is proud to announce that we donated $5000 for grants this year directly to artists for waivers, film production assistance and arts projects all surrounding The Indie Film Fest. We also donated $1000 to charities connected to our festival such as Made in Her Image and Kwss Independent Radio. Be a part of this new way of premiering your film at The Indie Film Fest 2020.

Our goal is to help the filmmakers have as much success through our festival as possible. We feature each filmmaker in our marketing as well as on the days of the festival capturing interviews for future press for the filmmakers. All these little things we feel give filmmakers the best chance to have a successful year premiering their film.

Our 2021 submissions will begin on APRIL 1st, 2020. We hope to help you premiere you film.
