The purpose of the West Texas Film Festival is to attract diverse films and producers that would not normally be featured in West Texas. We seek short films, documentaries, features, animation and student films from all over the world that have the pioneer spirit of media
The festival was started by a grant in 2016 from the Odessa Council for the Arts & Humanities awarded to the West Texas Film Commission. The West Texas Film Commission is a community organization that has came together in the Fall of 2015 to promote film in the Permain Basin. This is the first year of the festival.
