Just saw this and came straight to the forum. Awesome stuff. How can the AIC leverage it?

It appears The New Movement is one of the venues, Hell Yes Fest one of the sponsors, and Chris Trew is one of the billed performers. I imagine most of the improv will be channeled through those means.happywaffle wrote:Just saw this and came straight to the forum. Awesome stuff. How can the AIC leverage it?

So given all the nice talk lately that means it'll be open to anyone, right?bradisntclever wrote:It appears The New Movement is one of the venues, Hell Yes Fest one of the sponsors, and Chris Trew is one of the billed performers.

from http://www.hellyesfest.com/about-the-he ... ationship/When we launched Hell Yes Fest in 2011, we wanted take a different approach to most improv/sketch/standup festivals that we’ve attended over the years. We had a very successful 2011, learned a lot and have been pretty excited about Year 2 for a long time. Part of that excitement is getting the chance to bring Hell Yes style booking to existing festivals, merge with other art events and of course, heighten the fun from our previous events in Austin and New Orleans. We’ll have more fun developments to announce in the coming months, but for now know that Hell Yes Fest is booking the improv and sketch comedy portions for what promises to be the most gigantic comedy festival the Southwest United States has ever seen. We’re stoked about it, we hope you’re stoked about it and coming real soon we’ll have schedule and artists announcements for our portion (know as the “Hell Yes” stages) of The Moontower Comedy and Oddity Festival.
Nicely done.

For those of you maintaining festival calendars, this is the same weekend as Phoenix Improv Festival, so make your plans accordingly.

Did anyone see anything about submitting to this festival? Like, at all?

If the sketch and improv part truly operates like the previous Hell Yes Fests, then there will be no call for submissions. Chris curated those festivals himself.Brad Hawkins wrote:Did anyone see anything about submitting to this festival? Like, at all?

Stephanie Cook mentioned a couple of weeks ago that her improv troupe from Chicago, the late 90's is playing in this festival.
I believe that contacting Chris Trew directly to ask about submissions is the best bet.
