Sponsor

The Ashland Independent Film Festival is made possible each year through the generous contributions of our sponsors and advertisers. Festival sponsors receive prominent exposure to our over 20,000 ticket holders throughout the year, and especially during our the 5-day festival in April, and 8 in 10 festival attendees say they are more likely to do business with sponsors of AIFF directly as a result of their support of the festival.

Adverting opportunities are available in our 90+ page festival catalogue as well as during the pre-film slide show which screens before each of our 147 film showings. In addition, you, your employees, and clients will have the opportunity to enjoy festival benefits such as vouchers for festival films, early entry into films, filmmaker receptions, and festival parties
