This is it... the 2012 Off-Centered Film Fest is upon us once again! We've teamed up with the fantastic folks at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema to put together our annual film competition. This year, it will culminate in a three-night fun, funky festivity of film and beer in the great city of Austin, TX.  All the information you need to know to start working on your film is listed on this site.

Attention OCFF film makers!!!!!  Traditionally the theme for films being submitted for OCFF has been “off-centered.”  This year the panel of Dogfish and Alamo judges wanted to give you a little direction (no pun intended).  The theme for the 2012 OCFF is “WESTERN, OFF-CENTERED”.  This can still be interpreted however the director sees fit, but be prepared to defend yourself in the court of public opinion when people say, "That's too on centered! There's nothing Western at all!"  Of course a lot of the usual OCFF requirements still apply (be sure to read through all the rules on this website); 5 minutes or less, director must be 21  years of age, must have Dogfish product placement and/or mention, etc.  So….get out there and shoot that movie!!!

Not a movie maker….no worries….still plan to come to Austin for an awesome craft-beer fueled extravaganza.  The OCFF not only consists of the short film competition, but also an outdoor film (last year was Strange Brew, so think fun beer movies) and a mini-beer festival the first night.  A Dogfish-inspired beer feast guided by none-other-than Sam himself on night #2, and the screening of the top films from the OCFF shorts competition as the finale.  All nights are filled with off-centered ales and crazy, fun times.
 
Dates: Thursday, April 19th – Saturday, April 21st.
Location: Alamo Drafthouse Cinema / Austin, Texas
 
Plan your weekend now and save up some coin for that road trip, reserve your room or save, or call that buddy to cash in on that “couch” that he’s always offering up.  A detailed schedule of events for the entire weekend and information on tickets will be posted on this site as they’re finalized, but SAVE THE DATE now.  See you in Austin!!!!!
