About the Screaming Ostrich Film Festival
When it comes to film festivals they all claim to be different. But, well, we’re different! We’re perhaps the first film festival to look ahead at what artists will accomplish instead of behind at what they’ve already done. So come join us for these great films and together we can imagine what these film makers will be creating for us in the future! 7+ hours of films, documentaries, animation, and music videos will fill the weekend. Free networking events and a Free Family Friendly screening on Saturday at 3pm round out the event.
The following types of tickets are available:
Best Value: $15 for the Halloween Bash and all 3 days of screenings + Closing & Awards Party on Sunday.
