SW FanFest “Best of the Festival” Special Screening!

On December 11^th at 7:00 PM, the SW FanFest held a special online only presentation of some of the best films to be offered during the SW FanFest weekend event (December 11-12^th)!  These films were chosen by the Something Wicked Entertainment staff and in no way had anything to do with the judging of the Main Awards for the event.  The films chosen were a selection of six films that displayed the key features of what it is meant to be an indie film by film-makers that respect and enjoy entertaining audiences.  The films chosen were:

“I Am the Doorway”

“Jason Rising: A Friday the 13^th Fan Film”

“Honor Among Thieves”

“Growing Shadows: The Poison Ivy Fan Film”

“Wasteland”

“Star Wars: Origins”

We hope that all of these amazing films continue to have an amazing festival run and that audiences everywhere eventually get the chance to see these films.

SW FanFest 2021!

On December 11-12, 2021 we held our very first SW FanFest online festival event!  The goal of the FanFest is to highlight genres of films that don’t always get enough presence at regular film festivals.  As such, our plan is to highlight different genres each year!  For our 2021 event we decided to highlight fan-films (or fan-made-films), westerns, and post-apocalyptic films.  Over the course of the two days audiences were given complete access to all the “official selections” of the event in addition to some other great films.

Due to the current pandemic environment still going on it was decided (late) that this year’s event would be entirely online.  Even though we couldn’t have an in-person and live event this year we hope that our 2022 event will be a physical event.  As a bonus, we decided to have a Special Screening of the “Best of the Festival” films as decided by the staff members of Something Wicked Entertainment.  FYI – this decision was held independent of the Festival Judge Philip Wray and his Jury Members who decide who received the Main Festival Awards.

The “Best of the Festival” Special Screening was held on December 11^th at 7:00 pm and consisted of the short films “I Am the Doorway” (a Stephen King fan-film), “Jason Rising: A Friday the 13^th Fan Film”, “Honor Among Thieves”, “Growing Shadows: The Poison Ivy Fan Film”, “Wasteland”, and “Star Wars: Origins.”  The event was hosted Co-Festival Director Kevin L Powers.

We hope everyone enjoyed the weekend and saw some amazing films and I’d like to remind everyone to continue to support indie films and film-makers!

TICKETS!

Something Wicked Film Festival’s 2020 event will be completely online due to the current situation we find ourselves in post COVID-19 quarantine.  All of us here at SWFF decided not to postpone our event but to embrace the current times and continue bringing independent film-makers and outlet from which their films can be seen.  This year’s event will be different as all of our “official selections” will be available in one place from August 7-9, 2020!

My team and I are working on the website (which will be linked through our Main Website at www.somethingwickedfilmfestival.com) as we speak in order for audiences to be able to view all the films from one location all day throughout the weekend.  But once the weekend is over all the films will disappear and you’ll have to see them at a different film festival so make sure to purchase your tickets and spend all weekend in bed or on the couch watching some amazing films.

We have an amazing selection of films from returning film-maker’s including the feature TEACHER SHORTAGE from director Troy Escamilla (MRS. CLAUS) and Jax Price with his latest horror short PINE.   We also have some amazing features for audiences this year from the German fantasy musical REEL ME and the fantasy troll film UNDER CONTROLL, to name a few.  This year I’d like to highlight our fan film selection which includes the Stephen King based film WILLA and even a couple Star Wars fan films DROID STORY and THE PATH OG THE GREYS and two new shorts from film-maker Chris R. Notarile with DOMINO and TYPHOID MARY (based on Marvel Comic book characters).  This is just a few of the films on display this year including our regular horror, animation, experimental, sci-fi, and fantasy selections.

We want to ensure that even though this will be an online event, that audiences still get an amazing experience including Live panel discussions and film-maker interviews including other Live Special Events!   Tickets for this year’s event will be sold through Film Freeway (https://filmfreeway.com/somethingwickedfilmfestival/tickets) or through Ticket Leap (something-wicked-film-festival.ticketleap.com/something-wicked-film-festival/) so make sure to purchase your tickets for the event.  Once you purchase tickets you will be emailed a PASSWORD that will allow you access to the all the films (so if you don’t get an email from us with that PASSWORD a week before the event please make sure to contact us).

Also, remember to continue supporting indie films and film-makers!
