Victoria Hagni came to the festival as a camera operator. She met Tina Gallo who was a judge and acting coach for The Actors Voice. Victoria packed her bags and moved from Rolla, Mo to Nashville and honed in on her craft in front of the camera.

Deborah Watson the curator for the festival and owner of Studio 2.22 Film Productions took note of the transition. She decided to hire her for a developing project happening outside of Dallas.
Thank you Terry Hirsch for directing the teaser!

Many festivals try to imitate Hollywood. Here, we are different because our festival is designed to be: Relationship-Based, Family & Faith-Friendly, A regional launchpad.

In Hollister/Branson, people in the industry meet the audience, build partnerships, connect with businesses, find regional support and grow loyal fan bases.

We know there is a massive underserved audience for inspirational films, family entertainment, clean comedy, redemptive storytelling, documentaries with purpose and culturally meaningful stories. Your work fits that mold, because that's what Branson is all about.

You're not the only one that sees that. over 10mllion people vacation here every year. While we love our visitors and Branson Chamber and Convention & Visitors Bureau and Hollister Area Chamber of Commerce take great care in making sure they have an amazing experience, there are over 17,000 people that call our region home.

They are the underserved audience hungry for inspirational films, family entertainment, clean comedy, redemptive storytelling, documentaries with purpose and culture....so the question isn't "does our festival have stories that the local community will enjoy"
In fact, there really is no question when it comes to our festival.

Because our entire community enjoys stories like yours.
We look forward to seeing you in September!

We believe it only takes a spark to start a fire. You and your work are that spark!

Right now, the film industry is facing uncertainty.
Doors are closing.
Funding is slowing down.
The experts are saying projects like yours are “impossible.”

But history has shown something powerful:
The biggest movements don’t begin in boardrooms.
They begin with people.
One voice.
One family.
One community.
One person willing to believe again.

We think they're telling us that view point because they're scared of the shift that's happened and there's nothing that can be done to stop it.

We decide to shift too!
How?

Help you market your work in the Midwest! From Nebraska to Texas, across to Tennessee and back through Missouri to complete the circle.

To do it on your own will take hundreds of thousands of dollars. 20% of your total budget!

To do it together?

Pennies on the dollar.

So we’re building something different thanks to our partnership with Screenvision Media, Cvent, CAYA-MtM Network and KY3

We’re offering 20 alumni and new producers a grassroots movement of people committed to helping ignite a contagious wildfire of hope through stories that matter.

Because we see that you're stories are not just films.
They're Impact stories.
Stories that restore hope.
Stories that remind people they still matter.
Stories that bring communities together.

If you just thought, "I can't afford to market my story through Theatre screens, television interviews, radio ads and press releases."

You're right. You can't.

But... if you thought, "I wonder if I could afford such a service", then we're here to tell you... you can for just a little under a thousand.

Why did we do this?
Because the future of independent film isn’t waiting for permission anymore.

We're here to help shine the spotlight on your work, and invite film fans from 500 miles around us to come and see and meet you face to face.

You see.... the beautiful part about tiny sparks is that when they all come together, they become a beacon of hope on a hill that can be seen for miles!

Now it's your time to Arise and shine.

Deadlines are approaching by May 20th.
If you're ready...
Let's do it together.
If not... there's always next year.

Comment info and someone from the marketing team will connect with you.
