Inspired by the superb Freak Show Film Festival in Orlando, Florida – where Yellow Fever Productions very own Battle Of The Bone won the Audience Choice Award in 2008, The Last Light won Best Actor in 2011, and Splash Area won Best SFX & Jury’s Choice in 2012 – the YFIFF was set up in 2009 by company director and indie film maker, George Clarke (Battle Of The Bone; The Knackery; The Last Light; Chaplins Time Traveller & Splash Area).
The aim of the festival was to bring a real underground and independent festival to Northern Ireland, and at the same time, create a gateway for both local and international talent of the film world that would get the audience and recognition they deserve for their work!
