How about a little history!
We’re a non-profit film festival held in Kalamazoo, MI. Founded in 2019, we’ve been blessed to meet some of the most talented filmmakers, both amateur and professional. The show gets bigger and better year after year bringing in more and more filmmakers.
The show originally aired in the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts (KIA), but the show gained so much popularity that we had to move the venue. In 2024, Kazoo 48 filled a theater at the GQT Kalamazoo 10!
If you have any questions, we are happy to chat!
