Austin Action Fest & Market

Austin Action Fest & Market Welcome to Austin Action Fest. One of the business oriented film events focused solely on action. Screen, train and grow with us!
(1)

Be it horror, adventure or fantasy, as long as there is kick, stabbin, chasin or jabbin it can play! This festival was the brainchild of 3 artists in the Austin area that didn't see many places for people who specialize in action oriented storytelling to exhibit their work. So we created the Austin Action Fest for all those out there who not only have tremendous skill in handling dialogue but also

intense and often violent movement. We have multiple categories for you to potentially win. If you believe you have what it takes, if you believe your action sequences can wow us as much as your storytelling, submit!

Big shout out to Texas producer Micah Lyons! A few years back he came to the festival and shared a ton of information. That was around the time he produced "Covid 19: Invasion" with WWE superstar Kevin Nash aka Diesel.

That's just the working title lol. But yes, Indie Rights Movies will be speaking at Austin Action Fest in 2026. Come listen and learn from the pros. If you may end up going the indy distribution route, you need to be there!

This is awesome. Congratulations Markiplier To be clear he isn't just some "casual" content creator. He was very well known and he's very talented, but that's replicatable.
You can learn the skills and you can grow a following if that's the route you plan to take. Even if you do this on a smaller scale and skip theatrical or do a limited theatrical release, you can find a way to be Profitable Filmmaker. But it won't be by accident. That's not how show-business or any business works.
Markiplier is proving this right now. Keep Filming, Keep Fighting!

Welcome to the Home of Action

Welcome to Austin Action Fest! If it isn’t Kick, Stabbin, Chasin or Jabbin we won’t play it. This festival is About Action. We didn’t see many festivals or film markets designed for people who specialize in action oriented storytelling or exhibit their work. We have multiple categories for you to potentially win and we are dedicated to getting your work seen and potentially into the hands of customers or distribution. If you believe you have what it takes, if you believe your action sequences can wow us as much as your storytelling, submit!
