Rate:  5 stars. Do it next year!



I have lived in Wichita on and off for many years, but have never attended the Tallgrass Film Festival.  I am embarrassed to admit that I actually hadn't heard of it until last fall. This year, due to a friend on staff, I decided to partake in the festivities.  I volunteered with another friend to not only check out the festival, but to have the chance to see independent films for free. The staff and atmosphere was inspiring and the movies I watched were very thought provoking. I definitely recommend this event for any Wichitan who loves movies. Is there anyone who hates movies?  I just can't fathom that thought. You can volunteer like I did and see the movies for free, pay $10 per movie, or pay $195 for the VIP TALLpass with many benefits. Either way, you'll be able to see celebrated movies and meet amazing people.

The movies I did see that Tallgrass were showing are:

Blue Caprice
Shotgun Wedding
A Band Called Death
and soon....Blackfish

Some of these are on Netflix right now and Blackfish was aired on CNN last week.

SIDENOTE:  The Tallgrass Film Festival shows movies throughout the year so check out their website . I hope to attend their next show "After Tiller."
