2013 has been a BIG year for Raindance. Weve grown internally, nationally and internationally, starting new projects and re-kindling old flames while always maintaining the truly independent Raindance spirit. From crowdfunding to producing, planning to partying, teaching to learning, this year weve done it all and well do even more in 2014! Click on to see 8 things were proud we did this year!

4. YOU raised 贈30,000 In January we became partners with Indiegogo, using the site to help fund a wide range of projects, from our feature film to the Raindance Film Festival itself. Total contributions to our projects reached 贈30,000, with thousands of people donating, sharing, helping and inspiring us to do amazing things. Thank you to everyone!

7. The Festival rocked In a few years time, we might look back on 2013 as a pivotal year for the Raindance Film Festival. Over 250 films, 30 events, 600 filmmakers in attendance, thousands of indie film fans, bands, parties, networking all wrapped in 10 days of unstoppable Raindance energy. We broke every previous record and will keep on doing so year after year! This year also saw Microsoft come aboard as a sponsor, providing the Filmmakers lounge and a place for us to store and share our Festival photos go online and relive the Raindance experience through Skydrive.
8. We partied with the stars at the BIFAs We also presented the Raindance Award to Carradog W. Jamess The Machine Click here to see our awesome online gallery!
Thank you for an amazing year Thanks to every member, every student, every course attendee, every indie film lover who came to the Festival you keep us alive! Thanks to our partners and sponsors, without whom we couldnt grow and explore new avenues and adventures. And thanks to our interns, volunteers and helpers - the hidden powerhouses behind everything we do and the muscles that keep the Raindance body moving.
Heres to 2014!
