The AOF Fest is one of these most progressive film festivals on the scene today. With writers, producers, directors and filmmakers from all over the globe, we are truly an International affair. We have assisted a number of filmmakers in starting their careers; Stan Harrington, Mark Mahon, Justin Owensby, and many others. We have helped people sell their films and projects and helped others gain the recognition and representation they deserved.
Celebrities like Costas Mandylor, Michael Madsen, John Savage, Maria Conchita Alonso, George Takei, Bill Duke, John Saxon, Frances Bay, David Carradine, Steven Williams and many others have found a home at the AOF Festival. And now, people behind the scenes like super producer Karen Kramer, the people from SONY, The Will Rogers Foundation, Independent Distribution Companies, and Industry Insiders etc., now mix and mingle with our independent filmmakers and writers to guide them along the path to success in their careers.
From humble beginnings, our sponsors have come out in full force to support our filmmakers and writers with great awards, recognition and more. In fact, through their generous support, companies such as Time Warner, Charter, SONY SOFTWARE, The Stella Adler Studio of Acting, Video Symphony and many others have provided us with the necessary tools to provide our filmmakers and writers with fantastic prizes and awards. With a fantastic arrangement and sponsorship from THE MAGAZINE AOF Writers and Filmmaker's work will be seen by upwards of 75,000 new people via their great print and advertising campaigns.
With our move to the beautiful city of Pasadena in 2008, the AOF Festival proved itself to be one of the top events in the world with beautiful theaters, star studded Black Tie Dinner and Award Shows, Writer's Award Events and hundreds of screenings of the most provocative films, videos, documentaries and works of the written word being showcased today.
The Action on Film Festival is dedicated to filmmakers and to film making. We have developed a program that supports artists and creators and allows them a voice via their work. We have showcased and will continue to showcase, talent, innovation, edge, new voices and YOU.
Action On Film is more than just a film festival, it is a community with members from all over the globe. We extend to you, the filmmaker the opportunity to show your work and to share your dreams with an audience that is ready to stand up and put their hands together, for you.
Dear AOF Team,
Thanks to your hard work, I've been inducted into the WGAw through the
Independent Writers Caucus! This has some pretty
great implications for the festival, as AOF was THE festival they
deemed prestegious enough for their criteria. Hopefully this
will pave the way for other winning writers and give the AOF the
marketing gravitas of other WGA qualifying festivals like Slamdance,
Sundance,
and Austin. I'll be doing everything in my power to promote the Action
On Film Festival to other writers and filmmakers, but really--
you do such a damn good job, I don't have to do much convincing!
Thanks so much for everything! I am eternally grateful for your help
and support over the years
-Justin Owensby
