Sponsorship Opportunies Galore!

The True West Cinema Festival needs your help!

Every year we bring an excellent, exciting and diverse group of films, film goers, filmmakers and industry insiders to Boise to share in what has been described as the "best", "most engaging" and "intimate" film festival around. As we are all filmmakers ourselves, we take pride in creating the most hospitable atmosphere possible for our visiting and local filmmakers, and patrons. To achieve this goal, each year we partner with numerous fiscal, product and volunteer sponsors; this year is no different.

So, wether you are a local business, corporation or an invdividual supporter of the arts, we urge you to join in and contact us today about participating as a Sponsor of the 2008 True West Cinema Festival!
