We recognize that the only way we can do it successfully is to make the AOF bigger and better for our filmmakers, our writers, our guests, our fans and our sponsors who make it all possible. In order to do that; we simply have to offer everyone more of what they have come to love over the past six years.
Many of you have asked for earlier and later opening and closing submission dates and we have done that this year. Many of you have asked for more information sooner so that you could make travel, summer and event planning arrangements, and we are now doing that. Many of our writers have asked that we continue the Writer's Series Events and Tapings and to expand the role of writers at this festival and we have done this as well.
As we move forward with new distribution, showcase and networking processes for the coming season; we want you all to know that when we say; "You may be independent but with the AOF, you're never alone..." We mean it!
