Midwest Independent Film Festival |

Welcome Erica Duffy

Thank you for supporting us for 15 years! We are working on many changes for the festival and are extraordinarily excited to continue as a platform for Midwest filmmakers. Please help us in welcoming our new Executive Director, Erica Duffy!

We are taking a few months to rebrand the Midwest Independent Film Festival, with full intention to continue showcasing Midwest filmmakers. As a volunteer-based organization, we welcome your hands on deck, to build a new vision for 2020. If you would like to join us as a volunteer or sponsor, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Erica at Erica@MidWestFilm.com. We would also love to hear what you want to see MIFF do in the future! We thank you for your patience as we take time off to create a better festival for our members!
