Join us for discussions with WFF Alumni and friends of the festival about all things indie film! The WFF podcast is a platform for filmmakers to share their work and love of independent filmmaking. Every year the podcast is live-streamed for three days during the festival and we also publish a select number of the best panels from the annual festival.
The WFF is a non-profit that supports emerging and established filmmakers, sharing their creative voices through an annual festival and year-round programming to promote culture, diversity, community, educational opportunities, and economic growth.
