Excited! Inspired!

Please welcome Austin Film Auteur Yen Tan!

​The Animalis Fabula Film Festival is honored to host award-wining director, writer, designer Yen Tan to help us sort through the amazing crop of fresh "Animal Stories"

Prolific Austin Writer, Director, Designer, Yen Tan

In July 2021 we are scheduling an online workshop for all filmmakers who have submitted to AniFab, regardless of acceptance, with film specialty distribution consultant Keith Ochwat of the online virtual screening site, Show & Tell. 

That is just one pre-festival distribution session we will be facilitating prior to the annual AniFab in November for our filmmakers.

AniFab will also be announcing special work shop guests scheduled for AniFab over the coming months as well as a partnership with a TV series who may be interested in licensing parts of your films for their show.

And lastly at the half-way mark I wish to introduce you all to Kylie below, your Special Filmmaker Envoy.  Kylie looks forward to connecting with you all soon enough.

We love you all and can't wait to see everyone in Austin at the end of November!

Cheers!
