The Call for Entries has begun with the Regular Deadline set for June 30.<\/p>\n

BFF will be designed to highlight the bustling creative community supported by the City of Boise, Idaho, by bringing filmmakers and film and television industry veterans to the city to celebrate independent film via a four-day event which will feature screenings, panels, Q&As, and masterclasses. Due to its easy access from Los Angeles, it is anticipated to become a top destination film festival on the regional circuit for film professionals, creatives, deal makers, and aspiring filmmakers on all levels.<\/p>\n

The Boise Film Festival will set forth on a mission to be a festival of discovery, looking to find, highlight, and celebrate new cinematic voices and faces, to promote the next generation of film makers and artists. BFF will also include a special focus on films created and shot in the Pacific Northwest, as well as a special filmmaker award for Best Feature Film and Best Short Film dedicated toward those films.<\/p>\n<\/ins>\n

Confirmed jury members for the inaugural edition of BFF include; Academy Award-nominated producer David Permut, Academy Award-winning actor\u00a0Octavia Spencer, Emmy Award-winning actor\u00a0Paul Walter Hauser, Talent Agent David Boxerbaum, and Boise State Film Professor Ryan Cannon.<\/p>\n

BFF Founders and Executive Directors, Christine, and Mark Holder, said, \u201cSince moving to Boise in 2020, we have fallen more in love with the city and the area each day, and have been eager to be matchmakers of a sort between Boise\u2019s film lovers and the type of films and filmmakers that we have championed in our careers as producers and filmmakers ourselves. The city will provide such a wonderful backdrop for the discovery of new talent and great conversations on film that we see the Boise Film Festival becoming one of those \u2018can\u2019t miss\u2019 stops on the film festival tour whether you are a filmmaker or an industry veteran looking to meet that filmmaker.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
