Great 3 days of screenings, discussions, shananigans, rejection, freeezing,and general sarcasm.
Paul Osborne is a straight up guy and to hear his perceptions on Film Festivals is very sobering and encouraging. It seems from these discussions that the fest can give and give but the film maker will always want more. But at the same time, the Fest needs to give what they have. This is a collaboration.
Thanks Paul for being at our forum, we look forward to seeing you at the Philadelphia Independent Film festival.

Cropsey screens in a Blizzard ...
Yes, a blizzard. To say the least it was crazy snow, Director Joshua Zeman (w/ Barbara Brancaccio) was hanging hard with the faithful though ...
It was true when we said that the best way to see a scary doc film like this int he snow was an answer. It's kind of like being there ... ;)
Thanks to all for the screenings.

Philadelphia Independent Film Festival UPDATE 02 02 2010
Hello,
February is upon us and we are enjoying these winter months. We have been hard at work with our Festival planning and have some updates. We'll be keeping to our weekly posting schedule through February at this point. Of course you will see Tweets and Facebook posts happening as the week goes by as well. Hopefully you feel informed. Let us know if you have any ideas or comments about the fest.
Festival entries: SUBMIT Online now!!!
The Without A Box (WAB) link is up (since last week actually!) You can now submit online. If you would like to continue to send us submissions via the mail, please do so! Call us with any questions: 215 592-1242 (USA)
A few people have gotten in touch already to book their stay during the fest ... We are looking to get early bird Hotel arrangements hooked up by April 1st. This would be a fest first so we are excited to make it happen! Stay tuned! Keep us posted with favorite hotels and we will try to help best accommodate your stay.
PUFF: Philadelphia Underground Film Forum
We've been having great screenings / discussions during the PUFF. We are screening weekly here in the studios as well as discussing via the PUFF web pages and the film makers. See the site for links / updates... Thank you for the support as always!
Next up is Tribeca Film fest entry, Cropsey. A scary (horror?) documentary that will keep you on the edge of your seats. Get ready.
SXSW: Will it happen?
Stay tuned for #PUFF unfestival news at the SXSW Film festival in Austin (March). We will hopefully have upto 8 movies screening there and are working on setting a 2 day event up. Let us know if you are interested in taking part.
And finally, we are sad to hear, as it has been reported, that it appears the film fest landscape has changed (once again) in Philadelphia with the postponing of the content cool Cinefest in April. We expect to see them back next year as planned.
That's it for now.
See you at the Festival,
