Great Plains Film Festival

Great Plains Film Festival is ready for Round 4!

September 5th-7th 2025 marks the fifth year of the Great Plains Film Festival. During its 3-day run, we will kick-off our fifth year with a wide range of films, including comedy, drama, horror, and first time filmmakers. We encourage submissions from directors who will be able to attend the entire festival, as we love to meet and network; forming friendships with fellow filmmakers and learning from each other is a key part of our festival!

Great Plains was formed to bring people together and to showcase their talents. Everyone deserves their chance. Tom Hanks, Al Pacino, and Steven Spielberg all had to start somewhere, so there are many people out there waiting to be discovered. In addition to films, we will have a kickoff party, workshops, panels, Q&As, networking events, makeup challenges and whatever else our creative minds create year-to-year!

The daytime film venue is at the Canadian Valley VoTech 1701 Czech Hall Road, Yukon, OK. A wide variety of films will be exhibited, from short films to features, ranging across many different genres. Screenplays will be workshopped with actors and given critiques by industry professionals. In addition there will be several guests on-hand to demonstrate during topical panels, and many filmmakers responsible for the works will be on-hand to provide lively discussion through Q&As, as-well as to network with local audiences, film buffs, and industry professionals alike.

Students with a valid student ID get into the film screenings and music portions for free. Passes for the general public will be available for purchase here as-well as on the festival's Facebook group, https://www.facebook.com/GreatPlainsFilmFestival.

We hope to see you at Great Plains Film Festival this upcoming year and thank YOU for your submissions; we look forward to having you as part of our festival to celebrate great film and have a lot of fun!
