It was a transformative three days of films, bands, artists, and more at the 9th Annual Boomtown Film & Music Festival hosted February 25 – 27, 2016. All of the BoomFest planners thank every participant for again sharing this yearly creative celebration. We also thank our sponsors, Texas Commission on the Arts, Texas Film Commission, Jefferson Theatre, Sojourn Church, Grandma’s Basement, and Koi Sushi Bar & Lounge, for sharing our vision enough to help us bring it to life. And of course, a big thanks go to our filmmakers and musicians who joined us in bringing independent film and music to Southeast Texas, as well as our volunteers who are the lifeblood of the festival.
