Great Festival. A must for experimental indie art.
We had a great time participating in the festival. Excellent organization and friendly atmosphere.
Thank you so much Experimental, Dance & Music Film Festival for selecting us. This was our first submission and we are so happy we did. There are so many opportunities for exposure if you are selected into the festival. Very professional, and helpful in setting future filmmakers on the right path to discovery. We had such a great experience working with you. We were overjoyed to find out we won Best Performance. That wouldn’t have been possible without the opportunity they gave us by sharing our film with multiple audiences. Thank you again, we will be submitting again in the future!
This was my first time submitting to this festival, and I was just so pleasantly surprised and excited of the professionalism, the communication, and also the feedback and opportunities! HIGHLY recommend hands down.

It has been an incredible pleasure to work with the Experimental Dance and Music Film Festival on our debut film, “Prohairesis” which was selected as Best Dance Film 2024. This festival excels at all the details of taking a film into the world, from videotaped reviews, a printed interview and being featured on their exclusive podcast. The experience working with them has been absolutely first rate!! We highly recommend submitting to this festival.

Watch the best scene reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrJ8KUPyDZ8
A young oceanographer discovers her gradfather’s plane – part of the Lost Patrol – and is thrust into an emotional journey with a rebellious reporter as the government tries to cover up what really happened that night in 1945. The duo uncovers an extraordinary truth of how water, our most precious resource, has a will and consciousness of its own and is an active, seemingly invisible, participant in its own survival from human destruction.
Get to know the writer:
What is your screenplay about?
In LIFESOURCE, well known historic events (the disappearance of 5 war planes we’ve come to call the lost patrol in 1945), a government cover-up, mysterious deaths and a romance, all come together when humanity’s killing of its life source (all of Earth’s water sources) reaches a tipping point and humanity and water are out of harmony.
Why should this screenplay be made into a movie?
It speaks to what humans are doing to the water sources on our planet and the value systems we’ve chosen to embrace and at the same time it stands on its own as a fun ride while creating awareness.

A wonderful experience, the Table Read was a real thrill. Thanks !!!!
I can’t thank the Action/Adventure Film Festival for the promotion they have done for my film! They really go above and beyond with giving you multiple options to promote and support the film(s), and the reception to my film was also amazing. A highlight in my first ever festival run.
I can’t emphasize enough how helpful the Action/Adventure Film & Screenplay Festival has been for both me and my short film, HIGHWAY! Matt and Allison really deliver great and useful promotional material for the films that become official selections. The audience reactions video was absolutely fantastic and useful–I linked it to my film on Film Freeway, because all of the great comments about the film by the viewers is a great way to get festivals interested in taking the film into serious consideration. Also, the print interview was fantastic. I posted that link on Film Freeway, as well, and forwarded it to friends on social media (and many of them actually read it, haha)! And I just had the podcast interview with Matt, and that was an absolute pleasure, too. So, all in all, I just can’t say enough good about the Action/Adventure Film & Screenplay Festival! These folks go above and beyond!
I was so impressed by their warm hospitality, quick response time and their willingness to explain and support us in every aspect. I’m so grateful that I got the opportunity to join this festival and highly recommend it!
