Connecting films to audiences

We are a non-profit startup working to create the most comprehensive database of independent films and film festivals, connecting filmmakers with fans and industry leaders. Think IMDb, but exclusively for festival films - with a "Where to Watch" link if the film is already out, and a "Get Notified" button if the film is not yet available for streaming.

Filmmaker, unlock your film's full potential!

During festival screenings, films experience their peak public interest — a time when audience engagement and excitement are at their highest.

Yet, this significant opportunity for attention often remains unexplored, as films typically make their online debut long after their festival appearances.

It’s not just about lost views; it’s about missing out on building a lasting relationship with your audience, the support and engagement that could fuel your next projects.

Vurchel ensures your audience's interest is retained. We alert your fans when the film is ready to stream, maintaining momentum from festivals for wider reach and engagement. With Vurchel, your film's buzz isn't just preserved — it's amplified.

2020 Marks Our 8th Anniversary!! The Prairie State Film Festival was founded in 2011 and is a multi-genre film festival dedicated to films made at least in part in the great state of Illinois! IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to the ongoing pandemic and restrictions put on events in Illinois by the Governor, we will be hosting our 2020 festival online. The festival will run for two weeks starting Friday, November 20th. We apologize for the change, but it is unfortunately out of our control.
