WHAT:
WYO Film Festival, presented by ERA Carroll Realty Co., Inc., will return for the third year, Friday, October 2 – Sunday, October 4, 2020, at the historic WYO Theater in Downtown Sheridan, Wyoming. The WYO Film Festival is expected to be the only film festival to host an in-person experience in Wyoming this year. The three-day festival will screen 13 feature and short films, including award-winning films that have screened at some of the most prestigious film festivals across the country.

WYO Film Festival is moving forward with an in-person festival experience and is working closely with the WYO Theater, the town of Sheridan, and local community members to ensure a safe environment for all festival attendees. The festival will observe social distancing recommendations and theater capacity will be significantly reduced, allowing for a safe distance between rows and seats. With reduced seating capacity, WYO Film Festival will host two screenings of each film throughout the weekend in an effort to provide a quality festival experience to as many people as possible. All attendees will be asked to reserve their seat at each screening upon purchase of their pass.
