FIlmQuest celebrates the majesty of genre filmmaking such as fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and the beyond. Awarding filmmakers in 2014 with over $30,000 in awards and prizes, including the coveted Cthulhu Trophy, the festival launched with great praise and fanfare . FilmQuest has been designed specifically to cater to the empowerment of the filmmaker through various events, awards, swag, connections, and more.
In creating the festival, we thought long and hard about what it is that makes a festival great. We asked ourselves the tough questions. What we’ve come up with is, we believe, a festival experience that is the kind most filmmakers dream about.
Major industry professionals took part in the first Grand Jury, including Doug Jones (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, Silver Surfer, Hocus Pocus), Dameon Clarke (Borderlands 2, Dragonball Z), and Amrita Acharia (Game of Thrones). The New York Times bestselling author, David Farland, is already confirmed for the 2015 Grand Jury. The award juries will award our filmmakers in over 25 individual categories. Our selection committee is also made up of a group of industry professionals from various fields, such as directors, actors, producers, professors, writers, animators, casting directors, and more.
FilmQuest itself is the film festival branch of FantasyCon, a convention that puts the fantasy experience of the patrons first. It is an interactive convention, where dragons, magic and battle literally comes to life. Just as FantasyCon is a celebration of all things Fantasy, from horror to adventure, so is FilmQuest a celebration of all things Fantastic in film.
We will also be hosting parties, events, panels and more!
We encourage you to explore our website (www.filmquestfestival.com) for new information and updates as it comes, including who is on the Grand Jury, the Selection Committee, the Official Selections, venues, and more. As the year progresses, we'll be updating our website and this page with more info on what to expect, the celebrities who will be involved with FilmQuest, the official dates (2015 FilmQuest will take place in July, 2015), and more.
Prepare for Fantastic.
현금 수상: 30,000$
We’ve created a festival that gives away awe-inspiring awards, fills your bag with the swag a pirate would be envious of, connects you to other filmmakers and celebrities in ways that encourages future collaboration, and offers an event to explore that will be talked about for years to come in FantasyCon.
Prizes include a $5,000 Grand Prize (Best of Fest), a $2,500 2nd Place Prize, and a $1,000 Third Place Prize. These moneys will be given to the filmmakers specifically to help you finance your next film project. On top of this, we’ll have the FilmQuest Cthulhu trophy designed specifically for FilmQuest and manufactured by the same company who makes the Golden Globes, making what we are sure will soon become one of the most coveted awards on the festival circuit. And this is just the beginning. The trophy will be available for over 25 categories.
We've also created a partnership by which finalists in our screenplay competition will have the opportunity to have their script optioned, if they so choose, for production by Utah's leading production company for independent fantasy films.
