International Film Fest in Vacaville

Do you know a filmmaker who needs more exposure?

Well, we have just the thing for anyone who is looking to get noticed in the world of film-making. 

Several years ago I wanted to showcase my film-making ability but got tired of being rejected by film festivals.

So I got together with a couple of other filmmakers and we started the ...

Vacaville International Film Festival  

At first we had around 100 attendees, then in 2010 we had 130 , last year we had close over 270 in attendance. 

For two years in a row, we simply set things up at he last minute and made things up as we went along.

In 2011 , we put a small committee together to make it more professional. 

We were not prepared to double the size of our audience and we made a lot of mistakes.

This year, we are starting early and we have a  great committee who are organizing the event so that we will be bigger, better and will have more fun than ever before. 

Last year we had some incredible sponsors, please take a look at some of the people who made the event possible. 

Please contact me today for more information on how you can spend a little and get a lot of exposure.

Our Film Festival

 Too cheap and lazy to keep entering my films in other people's festivals, only to have them accept my entrance fee and deny my art, I decided I needed to start my own festival. 


What started out as really just an event to showcase a movie I co-directed and acted in has evolved into a huge annual event that requires the efforts of more than a dozen volunteers. 


In 2009 we showed our movie "The Bailout"






We showed our movie and a group of others at Brenden Theatres in Vacaville.
We were thrilled to have close to 100 people show up to enjoy the festivities.
The event was put on by two friends and I.

Then in 2010, we received more entries and had sponsors.  We sold 130 tickets and gave out awards.




This time we featured a movie we called "The Wedding" and many more.
This past December , 2011 we had much more assistance, received dozens of entries and more than doubled our patronage. This time we had at least 260 viewers.
While preparation would start in September for past events, this year we are starting now.
We are also working on the feature film  "Predatory Lender"





So please stay tuned if you want to submit your film or if you want to be a volunteer , send me an e-mail today
