Celebrating 10 Years of Waco Indie!

For a decade, the Waco Independent Film Festival has been where bold stories, big laughs, and unforgettable movie-magic moments come to life. What started as a local love letter to independent film has grown into one of MovieMaker Magazine’s Coolest Film Festivals in the World—a place where filmmakers and film-fans come together to connect, create, and celebrate the power of storytelling.

Our 10th anniversary edition is going bigger than ever: more films, more filmmakers, more parties, more Waco flavor, and more chances to discover the next story you’ll remember forever. Whether you’ve been with us since year one or you’re joining the fun for the first time, this is the year to circle your calendar and experience Waco’s most creative weekend of the summer.
