Trail Dance Film Festival

Duncan, OK

 

Trail Dance takes place annually in January in the city of Duncan, only a 30 minute drive from Lawton, at the Jack A. Maurer Convention Center and the Chisholm Trail Heritage Center.

Founded by the Southwest Association of Film, Trail Dance provides an opportunity for filmmakers to present material in a competitive, yet supportive environment, regardless of experience in the film industry.

Trail Dance festivities also include vendors, live entertainment and seminars featuring film professionals. The festival will conclude with a grand awards ceremony and reception.

The mission of Trail Dance Film Festival is to encourage originality and creativity, as well as to promote the film industry in Oklahoma. Proceeds from this festival will benefit Oklahoma students through a media-arts scholarship.
