Wire in the Sky Director: John Stein, Ft. Pierce (14 min.) In this sci-fi spoof, an over-the-hill TV reporter is sent on a fool’s errand of a story, and finds himself to be somewhat, ah, alienated…

The Ride Director: Pat Martin, Hobe Sound (6 min.) Before getting out of town, a young woman relates her story to a small town taxi driver.

The Brothers Director: Jonathan Figg, Reachfar Films, Orlando (29 min.) Two suburban twenty-somethings take matters into their own hands in order to make it in the gansta rap music world. Kind of.

The West Palm Beach Independent Film Festival invites you to attend, sponsor, join, submit to, and generally become one with The Festival. The WPBIFF was created to showcase smaller, independent works for South Florida cinephiles (and there's plenty out there, we've discovered). This year we will screen 40 short films in three nights.

The WPBIFF is proud to announce our new alliance with the AIVF/Palm Beach. This year, for the first time, the AIVF/Palm Beach is hosting our new and improved line-up of festival seminars and events.
