09 Discount Programs

Lakedance is here to discover new talent from around the world while keeping entry fees low, but we also want to see our regional and local filmmakers, and students get their shot at the big screen. Here's our 2009 discount programs meant to encourage these filmmakers.

Northwest Filmmakers Save 20%

Filmmakers from Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Wyoming residents have it hard enough finding the resources to make their films, we try to give an extra little break from our already low prices to encourage them. To date, Lakedance has screened films from these states and since 2007 has presented a "Best Northwest Filmmaker" Soaring Eagle Award. Note, you MUST provide proof that shows you are a current resident of any of these states.

In 2008, it was Michael Tedford with his beautiful, "Maro" short film, will it be you this year?

Idaho Filmmakers Free Entry

Lakedance is here to do everything we can to encourage our home state of Idaho to grow its film community and quality of work. Since 2006 and the formation of Lakedance, the film industry in North Idaho has grown from practically nothing to an active community of talented individuals and production companies, striving to take their films to the next level. In 2006, Lakedance screened just 3 North Idaho films. In 2008, Lakedance screened 13.

We at Lakedance also have created the "Best North Idaho Filmmaker Grant Program" with local banks, offering substantial reimbursement grants to be used on the winning filmmaker's next film. In 2008 this grant from Washington Trust Bank was $1000, which would help offset the cost of any size production. This program will continue in 2009 and Lakedance hopes to expand upon it. Lakedance was the first organization to ever offer opportunities specifically for North Idaho Filmmakers.

Note, you MUST provide proof that shows you are a current resident of Idaho.
