All events on Prescott Campus; the Film Festival is good news for local west county film buffs
Yavapai Community College is host to the multi-day Prescott Film Festival October 14-17. All events are held on the Prescott Community College Campus.
The Prescott Film Festival is a 100% volunteer organization dedicated to promoting tourism in Prescott and the quad city area through independent film and filmmakers. Each month the organization screens a short feature with a guest filmmaker for a Q&A with the audience. The events take place at the Yavapai Community College Performance Center on the Prescott Campus on select Wednesday evenings.
The Festival’s Executive Director for several years has been Helen Stephenson. She is also the Managing Director, Operations, Yavapai College Performing Arts Center. She was generally in charge of the nationally recognized filmmaker program at the Community College’s Sedona Center when it was closed down in 2014-15 by then College President Penelope Wills.
According to the Festival website, it markets itself across Arizona (focusing on Phoenix, Tucson and Sedona) and also in the New Mexico and Los Angeles area. Both the Sedona International Film Festival and the Phoenix Film Festival help getting the word out about the Festival. It receives a high level of support from the Prescott community.
