SUMMARY:Dances With Films
DESCRIPTION:Hollywood\, California\nUnited States\n  \nABOUT DANCES WITH FILMS\nDefiantly Independent Since 1998\nSince 1998 DANCES WITH FILMS has grown from presenting a handful of films to more than 200 each year… from narrative features and shorts to include the top documentaries\, music videos tv & web on the circuit today. In 2007 DWF brought new commitment to the indie world with the advent of the 2 Minute\, 2 Step Short Film Challenge where we actually shoot 10 films during the festival and present them to enthusiastic audiences. In 2012 the festival moved to its current location – the famed Chinese Theatre in the heart of Hollywood.  From there it has expanded to 11 days with ever increasing sold out theatres. \nOur Mission\nDANCES WITH FILMS (DWF:LA)\, champions the unflinching spirit at the very core of the independent film scene. While the vast majority of film fests rely heavily on celebrity\, we have relied on the innovation\, talent\, creativity and sweat equity that revolutionized the entertainment industry. And that reliance continues to prove successful with alumni moving on to write\, direct and produce celebrity-studded vehicles\, star in blockbuster movies and television series\, produce multi-million dollar films and create hit TV shows. Oh…. and we even have several OSCAR® nominees… In a world of homogenized\, formulaic film festivals\, DWF:LA continues to defy the rules. \n  \nDEADLINES & FEES\nOpening Submission Date\nNovember 27\, 2023 \nNotification Date\nMay 3\, 2024 \nEvent Date\nJune 20 - 30\, 2024 \n  \n\n\n\n\nEarly\nStandard\nLate\nExtended\n\n\nFeature Films\nJan 12\, 2024: $65\nFeb 12\, 2024: $75\nMar 15\, 2024: $85\nApr 5\, 2024: $105\n\n\nShort Films\nJan 12\, 2024: $45\nFeb 12\, 2024: $55\nMar 15\, 2024: $65\nApr 5\, 2024: $85\n\n\n\n \nVisit the Dances With Films website for more information. \n  \n\n\nVIEW THE EVENT CALENDAR
