About

Reel Fest/ Reel Zine (and the Reel Family)
Reel Fest was formed in Boston in 2009 by Rod Webber, David T. Grophear & Ali Bell as a means to showcase films and music outside of the mainstream. In 2011 we added our web magaZine "Reel Zine," and welcomed Reel Fest DC to the family.

MISSION:
 

ReelFest is a film showcase with the mission to create a seed-bed for films outside of the mainstream which personify innovation, individuality and daring strokes of bold new cinema. ReelFest accepts all lengths, genres and all styles of films. The key ingredient we are looking for is innovative work. Reel Fest is especially interested in low-budget, indie spirited filmmakers who are seeking a larger audience for their work around the U.S., the World, around the web and in the "Brick and Mortar" stores. We will consider any kind of movie.  If you’ve got a story to tell we will help you tell it.  

INTRODUCTION TO THE DC SHOWCASE:
 

There are a handful of film festivals in the DC area but only a small portion of those show true independent films. Washington, DC is a media powerhouse and ReelFest aims to use the media in Washington to provide exposure to innovative films from independent filmmakers who may not have the means to do so.  ReelFest seeks films that challenge convention and explore creative thought.  We accept films of all lengths and genres: Features, shorts, documentaries, animation and music videos.

  1. Just curious: Is there anyone on this list who lives in Washington, D.C., and not in Massachussetts? I'm having trouble understanding the Boston-Washington connection here.

  2. The biggest group is from Boston. Sam, Joe P and Jesse are from DC. Rob is from Detroit. John is Colorado, and the two Mikes are from Rhode Island.
