Welcome to the WYO west

October 3-6, 2024 | Sheridan, WY

The WYO Film Festival was founded in 2018 in Sheridan, Wyoming. The festival enters its sixth year as an emerging fest in the American west, providing a unique and intimate atmosphere to showcase some of the most exciting films and filmmakers of all experience levels. The best part? We’ve ditched the red carpets in favor of an intimate and laid-back festival experience where filmmakers and festival-goers can connect over the three-day fest in celebration of all things film.

Why we exist

COMMUNITY

FOR THE FUN OF FILM

EDUCATION

We're committed to growing the next generation of Wyoming filmmakers, which is why we started the Future Filmmaker program in collaboration with WYO PLAY.

DIVERSE VOICES

We're committed to providing a platform for diverse voices. Our programming features unique stories worth sharing from different perspectives.
