You know the Butte Film Club. You know how phenomenal the 2023 Butte Film Festival was, and now it’s time for you to get hyped for the even more awesome 2024 Butte Film Festival!
Still under the visionary leadership of Curtis Bell, this year’s festival is poised to take the Butte Film Club to unprecedented heights.
We want to offer thousands of dollars in prizes, industry connections, and scholarships to students involved” — Curtis Bell
BUFF 2024 will be more than just a local student film festival; it will be an ambitious event for cinematic creators from the entirety of Northern California.
Curtis said, “We basically wanna do what we did last year, except targeting not just Butte County, but the 5 million people within driving distance.” He went on to explain that his goal is to “ create an event that benefits not just filmmakers but the entire community.”
This year’s event will be open to all student filmmakers who want to celebrate this captivating celebration of creativity, storytelling, and filmmaking excellence.
With the event set to take place from November 22 to 24, it is still in its early days and many details are still to be finalized. “We have the entire year to prepare, and we aim to be far more organized,” Curtis Bell.
The expansion of BUFF 2024 promises new categories, workshops, and special guests, all of which will come together to make the festival an unforgettable experience.
This year’s BUFF will not only include a lot more things but also be much longer. Whereas BUFF 2023 was a one-night event, BUFF 2024 will be a three-day event spanning from Friday to Sunday.
“ instead of one evening at El Rey, 3 nights, at Chico’s largest historic theater, Laxson Auditorium.”
