BOOTS Film Fest

BOOTS Film Fest, short for Buena Onda on the Silverscreen, is a new festival in Helotes aimed at students, independent filmmakers and underrepresented voices. Its first edition is planned for September 10–12, 2027, at the Gardens at Old Town Helotes, under festival director Cynthia Garcia. It takes narrative features and shorts in action, comedy, drama, horror, romance and sci-fi, documentaries, short and feature scripts, and music videos. Awards have boot-themed names and cover women directors, student, LGBTQ and LatinX filmmakers, among others, and the festival plans college scholarships and year-round events for local families. FilmFreeway deadlines run from April 1 to July 1, 2027, with standard feature fees of $30 to $45.
