This is our 5th year and we've had some dynamite entries like "Christmas With the Dead" (Joe Lansdale), "A Child's Christmas in Texas" (Jessica Gardner), and "You Say" (Sidney Brammer). In 2013 we expanded the festival to include a panel discussion led by three Austin-based professional actors: Michael Conway, CK McFarland, and Jaston Williams. The festival was held at The Lost pines 8 Movie Theatres in Bastrop, as well as a catered closing party.

In 2014 we are expanding even further, to include a second day of filmmaking workshops in local high schools. The first day will again take place at the Lost Pines 8, and will include screening the films to a paying audience, a panel discussion, an award ceremony and cocktail party.

We awarded three cash prizes in 2013, and will award three in 2014. The amounts have not yet been announced.

Submissions must be made by the writer, producer or director of the film. The submitter must have legal rights to make the submission. DVDs must be in the highest definition available. All submissions must include artistic credits as part of the film.
