“To wander is to be alive.”
― Roman Payne

This isn’t your mother’s film festival. Kicking off at an undisclosed location in the fall of 2016, the Wayfarer Film Festival embodies the spirit of the great American road trip, the lost traveler, and the unbeaten path. Each year, the Wayfarer Film Festival will takeover a different, unique venue for a weekend long celebration of independent cinema complete with awards, outings, parties, and of course film. We cannot wait to kickoff our inaugural year with an amazing line up and some kick ass films. Come get lost with us.

You get the idea - we love to have fun and we'll make a very cool, very very awesome awards ceremony out of it all. Think the Oscars... but faster, and with less famous people.
