Free Filmmaker Donation Admission
When filmmakers have to cancel their travel plans, they still want an audience for their films. They donate their tickets so others can attend for free, support the festival, and discover independent films. We have 24 free Filmmaker Donation tickets available. No payment, donation, or credit card required.
Every ticket includes all-access admission. Pick up your badge at the check-in table at the entrance. Your badge lets you leave and return during the event.
Parking is limited. Metered parking is available around the venue.
Please reserve only if you plan to attend. If your plans change, cancel your reservation so someone else can enjoy the festival.
