"SUPPORT THE IDEA" Campaign:

To make the festival free, the screenings free and the workshops free and open for anyone to attend at no cost, we like the Support the Idea Campaign. We see opening up the festival by removing admission cost as the best way to guarantee the educational opportunities and increase the audience watching films at The Boonies International.

We are counting on your support.

What we'd love to see is the general public 'Support the Idea" by donating to festival. By making the festival in Warren free to attend you start your Boonies adventure with a HUGE savings. Just check out the admission and or ticket cost of many film festivals – well really the cost of admission to any event can be staggering. Eliminating these costs will make these 4 days of film, music, technology and art open to education and open to roam!

So look at it this way – you can attend The Boonies International Film Festival 2013 at Warren, Pennsylvania, USA and not spend a penny on attending the festival, the films or the workshops and BTW most of the parties too. BUT… yeah there's always a but… but if you want to donate to the whole idea of it, if you want to Support the Idea of a free to attend international independent film festival then you could donate… only if you want to.

So attend for free. OR Donate and attend. Just attend.

We think that our Support the Idea campaign is a great way to open things up, make it easy to see films. If you don't have to pay for your ticket to see movies you can use your cash for other stuff like eating, recreating or shopping! Attending The Boonies won't break ya.

The Boonies feels that paying to get here and maybe staying and eating here is enough to spend. Why charge to see the movies on top of those cost? We all realize that if you donate to The Boonies you're paying to see a movie… but really you are donating. Here's why - you can attend free even if you don't donate a penny. If you're thinking to yourself… "Well, you don't get something for nothing OR If I go I'll just donate when I'm there." We want you to know that you can get something for nothing, it just doesn't happen to often. It happens every year at The Boonies. AND if you want to wait and see to donate we understand. Come and see what you think. We accept donations year round and will have donation sites available at all venues.

So plan on attending and seeing as many films as you want or can fit into your plans! The festival, all film screenings and workshops are free to attend. Kind of awesome. Tell your friends and families to "Support the Idea" donate to The Boonies International.
