DEFIANTLY 

Original. 

Uniquely INSPIRED. 

For the past 20 years, DANCES WITH FILMS has 

dedicated itself to thousands of filmmakers who 

fight, year after year, to achieve their dreams. 

Voted one of MovieMaker Magazine’s Coolest 

Film Festivals in the World, DWF has the distinction 

of being the only festival in Los Angeles on 

this Top 25 list. And now, AAA’s Westways has 

chosen us as one of the top 3 fests of Southern 

California. 

Choosing films solely on merit, vision and 

‘discoverability’, DWF is right there with them; 

giving cinematic warriors the platform, opportunity 

and exposure that their talent, drive and 

sacrifice deserves. 

Now the largest film festival of its kind in the U.S., 

DWF remains the champion of fresh, creative 

voices: the Indie Heartbeat of the world. 

As a Sponsor, we position you at the epicenter 

of rising talent - allowing you to connect with a 

focused, yet world-wide audience. 

the defiant fest 

of raw talent!” 

- The Hollywood Reporter

DWF19’s explosive energy dominated 2016 with remarkable growth 

at our home at the famed Chinese Theatres in the heart of Hollywood. 

Sold out houses are becoming the norm and with a powerful 

industry presence, more and more ‘stars’ are being forged here. See 

our alumni action for who! 

2016 also witnessed the inaugural (and screenings packed!) TV & 

WEBISODE section of DWF... plus the 3rd installment of DANCES 

WITH KIDZ! - delivering the best films made for kids and made by kids; 

we champion the dreams of all - young, old and in between on the 

independent circuit. 

While the focus of DANCES WITH FILMS rests squarely on the wealth 

of talent chosen to screen each year, the festival also includes several 

distinctive events which benefit not only the filmmakers, but 

our sponsors’ uniquely branded products as well.

One of the most engaging, 

forward-thinking festivals

SHORT FILM CHALLENGE 

INDUSTRY CHOICE 

AWARD 

2016 2-Step Winners! 

With 8 years under its belt, the 2-MINUTE, 2-STEP 

SHORT FILM CHALLENGE is an exciting favorite program 

at the festival. DWF picks up to 10 film teams 

during the festival, giving them the latest in cinematic 

gear. From there they have 2 days to create, shoot & 

edit the most engaging short film during the festival 

and presented on closing night! Check last year’s films 

at danceswithfilms.com! 

2016 ICA winner CREEDMORIA 

burns up the festival circuit! 

Every film in the festival, be it feature, doc, short or 

music video, is eligible for DWF’s INDUSTRY CHOICE 

AWARD. The film deemed best executed overall in 

production quality, creative vision - all that makes a 

film ‘It’ - is chosen by our prestigious Industry Jury. 

Along with a prize package worth nearly $100k, the 

winner receives one of the most coveted rewards of 

all: a meeting with one or more of the ICA Jurists. 

FIRST FILMS 

SERIES 

DWF is about discovery & encouragement. Since 

practically every top filmmaker today started in the 

indie world, what better way to find that encouragement 

than to re-discover how and where these filmmakers 

started their careers? DWF20 introduces 

the FIRST FILMS series where a now successfullyestablished 

artist will screen their first feature film, 

plus clips from their most recent work, followed by a 

Q&A to discuss their creative journey. 

2016 marked the beginning of DWF’s TV and Webisode 

section... An incredibly hot market, our first line up of 

content blew the doors off expectations... so much so 

that we are already gearing up to expand the section 

for 2017!

ST FILMS 

DWF is thrilled with the return of DANCES WITH KIDZ!, 

presenting the most creatively inspired, kid and family 

focused films on the indie circuit. 

Films made for kids and films made by kids. 

The independent film scene has had a dramatic impact on 

mainstream entertainment for nearly three decades. However, 

the children and family film market is arguably one of 

the most profitable realms of the film industry with relatively 

few venues championing Independent family friendly films. 

We are changing all that as we introduce the next generation 

of media visionaries! The fourth installment will run concurrently 

with DWF20 (June, 2017) and will launch the new 

wave of film auteurs. Watch out Spielberg, Rodriguez and 

Redford! 

“A breath of 

fresh flair! 

- Los Angeles Times 

With filmmaking tools that would have made 

Charlie Chaplin & D.W. Griffith salivate, today’s 

generation of kids are truly on the cutting edge. 

Technology could easily surpass imagination if 

we aren’t careful, so we are here to encourage 

the kids with not only the filmmaking skills, but 

the storytelling skills, to aspire to the big screen!

DEFIANTLY INDEPENDEN 

The DIFFERENCE 

BETWEEN DWF AND 

EVERYONE ELSE 

No Politics. No Stars. No Sh*t. 

This is how DWF operates. Since its inception, DWF 

remains the only film festival in the U.S. solely 

geared to unknowns... no “star” actors, directors, 

producers or writers within our competition slate. 

DISCOVERY is DWF’s very foundation. 

We do not politize or “invite” films. 

The fact that a filmmaker chooses to submit to 

Dances With Films is important. Selection to appear 

at DWF has become a coveted pedigree among Indie 

Fests and we take that badge of honor very seriously. 

We choose the best...period. 

We watch and respect 

all of our entries. 

Respect for filmmakers is of paramount importance 

to DWF. Every single submission is watched – not 

once but several times and by multiple members of 

our screening committee. And any film not selected 

for the fest still receives a personalized response, including 

specific, positive comments about their film. 

This takes a great deal of time and the endeavor is 

well worth it. 

We do not screen films 

against each other. 

While many festivals have several screenings going 

on simultaneously - our screenings are set up so that 

no film is put at a disadvantage with regard to audiences. 

We do not charge filmmakers 

ridiculous fees. 

All filmmakers attending the fest (two per selection) 

have the opportunity to see everything at DWF. In 

fact, we encourage it. All parties and other events 

are equally open to attendees. 

SPONSORS

T SINCE1998 

Brand loyalties are often established 

early in careers. Our introductions 

of filmmakers to sponsors is particularily 

rewarding for both sides. 

Because of the intimate nature of 

DWF, our sponsors easily find themselves 

sharing conversations with 

emerging filmmakers as well as the 

major players in the world of film. 

Sponsorship of DWF’s signature 

programs places your company 

at the epicenter of this unique 

industry event. 

DWF gives you the most bang for 

your sponsorship bucks! Integrity is 

of the utmost importance to us in 

everything we do and sponsor relationships 

are no different! Our Sponsors 

return year after year because 

we customize your presence at the 

Festival, ensuring your company 

maximum exposure and visibility 

with our trend-setting Los Angeles 

audiences.
