50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee in 2018
Tallgrass Film Festival
Wichita, Kansas / October 17-21, 2018 / tallgrassfilm.org / S
If you’ve got the chops to make Tallgrass’ selective cut, (roughly eight percent of films submitted to last year’s fest were accepted) your project is in for a feast of treats. This year, the Wichita festival is bumping up the total amount of cash prizes doled out by $4,000. The diverse array of honors is programmed intentionally to reflect Tallgrass’ commitment to inclusion, with awards from low-budget features lacking distribution, to female-driven documentaries.
