This will be the 15th year we have brought daring indie genre films to Buffalo, New York, first as Buffalo Screams Horror Film Festival, then as Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival, and now as Amazing Fantasy Fest. We were also the first festival in the Queen City to recognize the importance of celebrating the work of local artists, changing the film festival scene here forever. Believe us when we say we do it out of love for those genres, cinema, filmmakers, our region, and you. We are not the big festival that wants to be Sundance and gets all kinds of nonprofit funding from grants and banks - we're the little guys, the rebels operating on a shoestring budget, and we appreciate and need every sponsorship we get.

Amazing Fantasy Fest offers four Sponsorship levels: Show the world you support independent filmmaking! All Sponsorships include at least one Full Fantasy Festival pass, at least one Official Amazing Fantasy Fest 2025 T-shirt designed by the incredible artist Mike Alvarez, and at least one personalized VIP festival badge. Sponsorships help us pay for our venues, awards, printing, etc. This year we're getting a table at Casting Buffalo's Acting Expo August 23rd to help promote the the festival, which runs three weeks later.

All sponsorships must be in place by August 18th, 2025, but the sooner we receive your support the sooner we can put it to good use – and the sooner you can reap certain benefits.

We do have a Paypal button already set up. If you would prefer to pay by Venmo, please email Digital Guerrilla Cinema at: digitalguerrilacinema (at ) gmail (dot) com, or click on the AFF logo at the top of this page!
