EXPERIENCE YOUR FILM AT

OUR GOAL
Is LeapFest a film festival?
Short answer: not quite!
Long answer: As filmmakers, we know the thrill of watching your film on the big screen with an audience. I’ve had the privilege of attending festivals and experiencing that magical moment when your hard work is shown on a big screen. LeapFest was created to share that experience with others, but without the pressure or formality of a festival. This is a dedicated space for filmmakers to bring their crew, family, and friends and share their work in a theater setting. It’s also an opportunity to showcase talented filmmakers right here in Arkansas. LeapFest is about celebrating storytelling, connecting with the local film community, and creating an event that feels personal, inspiring, and fun!
