Filmfest and Cosmicon
Roswell Filmfest and Cosmicon 2013 is crashing the comicon world!
The 2013 RFC is happening at the Roswell Mall, June 28th-30th, 2013! The RFC is all things fun, from the film festival to actually shooting five films in the digital shoot-out. We’re gonna have comic book artists and cosplay! We will have a gaming tournament and family friendly events for kids of all ages. Roswell hasn’t experienced anything this wild since 1947!
We are currently working on our guest list and will update the site as soon as they are signed. But don’t let that stop you from entering! The RFC has already attached some great artists, such as Roswell’s own Devin Kraft and Logan Pack, Epic Studios’ Michael Champion and other New Mexican artists such as Patrick Canter, Jennifer Hernandez, Derek Smith, Josh Wilkins and more to be added. And this year Lobo Anime from Albuquerque will be returning with a booth of comic book toy goodness.
So click the tabs on the left and be transported to another world.

The Digital Shoot-Out
A digital shootout? What’s that?
It’s a one-of-a-kind film contest held in Roswell, NM each summer in conjunction with the Sci-Fi Film Festival. Five short film scripts are chosen from hundreds sent by writers from around the world. The five screenplays selected are produced in a week’s time by production teams that compete to win Best Film. Now, you might think, that’s a piece of cake! But wait a minute. The budget is only $1500 provided by the sponsors of the shootout. Not a lot of money to produce a top-quality short film, but it can be done.


I have a few quick questions regarding the Digital Shoot-Out:
Who owns the films that are made and do the writers/directors have the rights to do what they want with the film afterward (submitting to other fests, etc.)?
Thanks for your time.
The writers are the ones that get to keep the ownership of the finished film.
When does the one week of filming take place?
June 21 though the 28
