BWiFF 2025 | Future Forward Campaign

Next Spring, the Blue Whiskey Independent Film Festival will celebrate its 15th anniversary! BWiFF 2025 will be held at the Classic Cinemas Elk Grove from April 27 – May 6 and our team of volunteers needs your help to make it happen. Join our community of elite supporters this summer when you make a tax deductible donation of $50 or more.

Individuals and businesses who donate $250+ will be recognized on the big screen for their contribution before every session at BWiFF 2025. Cask Strength benefactors will also be recognized by our festival emcee for their generous support of the Blue Whiskey Independent Film Festival.

As a volunteer-based organization, our whole team donates their time outside of their full time jobs to put together the programming and events we offer. Funds raised by donors like you will help cover the expense of screening venues, media storage, equipment rentals, and strategic marketing efforts with the goal of filling every seat.

If you could help us reach $10,000 for our 15th anniversary season, that would create a lasting impact for years to come at BWiFF. Hitting this goal would give us an opportunity to really invest in the next 15 years of celebrating character-driven independent film.

Every dollar counts and we are grateful for any contribution you are able to make. Thank you for your continued support of the Blue Whiskey Independent Film Festival throughout the years. We wouldn’t have made it to 15 without you!
