Are you an aspiring filmmaker or screen writer looking to get your name out there? Well, Synerfest is now accepting submissions for their film festival!

Synerfest is short for Synergy Festival, and it is a two part festival including film and music/arts.  The idea of the festival is to combine different forms of underground, dark art, built for artists that shy away from mainstream art. Synerfest is an amazing event where these different forms can come together and show off their talents, network, meet, cross-promote, collaborate and utilize each other’s resources.  The festival provides artists one place to see and ear the darker side of art. 

Synerfest Film Fest will take place October 15, 2010 at Studio 35 Theater, Columbus, OH. For prices and categories of entries see below:
