ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

"Considering Fantastic Fest is in its infancy, it has already established a solid reputation on the global festival circuit as a world leader: the ace in the pack of cards. With an awesome list of guests and movies, Fantastic Fest also has the best cinema in the world, period: "The Alamo". Founder Tim League has succeded a mission impossible with a bruiser of a movie festival with a touch of genuine Texan hospitality. Take my word for it: Fantastic Fest rocks our planet."
- Jay Slater, journalist, HOT DOG MAGAZINE UK

"The best film festival I've ever been to, at the best theater in the world. Everyone at Fantastic Fest really cared about the filmmakers, and worked incredibly hard to make every screening memorable. Thanks to everyone for making this first-time short film director feel like a Hollywood superstar."
- Phil Mucci, director, THE LISTENING DEAD

"I had a terrific time at Fantastic Fest and felt waited on hand-and-foot. I was just bowled over by the whole experience. I had such a wonderful time that I'm tempted to make another film just so I can be invited back."
- Roy Frumkes, producer, STRET TRASH
