New Overlander Film Festival Now Accepting Submissions

The overland community is brimming with creativity.  We see your storytelling talents every day across social media and YouTube.  Now, you can share your epic adventures on a world-wide platform as part of the new Overlander Film Festival.  

Backed by the pros of documentary-style storytelling at Expedition Overland, the First Annual Overlander Film Festival will be held online September 19, 2020.  

Film Fest Director and Founder Clay Croft’s hope for the event is to bring the overland community together for an evening of visual storytelling. 

“We launched the Overlander Film Festival this year to encourage and inspire travelers to share their stories. Storytelling is at the heart of any traveler, and we’re excited to see filmmakers from around the globe represented in this year’s festival.” – Film Fest Director, Clay Croft

So, get out there this weekend and capture your story.  Applications are open now thru August 31st for long (5-12 mins), short (3-5 mins) and junior (17 and under) films.  

Films will be judged primarily on the quality of their storytelling. Award categories include Best Long, Best Short, Best Junior and Best Cinematography. All films are also eligible for the Best Overall Story Grand Prize Award.

Film Festival tickets will be available to purchase on August 20, 2020 at overlanderfilmfest.com.
