The Kanab Film Festival was conceived by husband-and-wife creative team Jeff and Britt Roth. In early January, the Kanab Arts Board voted to take on creating a film festival and applied for a grant from Kane County Office of Tourism. The grant was awarded in mid-January, and Jeff immediately got to work organizing a crew that included Britt as well as Kanab yoga teacher Dana Balafas and Kanab Arts Board member Mike Lee. The self-dubbed “Mighty 5” crew, along with the help of some key volunteers, have rallied together a full-fledged film festival boasting 46 submissions in under three months.
Tickets are still for sale at the incredibly low price of just $20 for three-day passes, and single day passes are only $10. Tickets for 12–17 year-olds are half that and all are available through kanabfilm.com. Entry to a private filmmaker kickoff party and swag bags are available only for a limited number of three-day passes on sale until April 8.
