AUSTIN, Texas - eTradeWire -- The We Regret To Inform You (WRTIY) Film Festival proudly announces the return of its third annual celebration of bold, boundary-pushing, and independent cinema. The festival will take place October 24–26, 2025, at the EP Event Center in Austin, Texas.

Founded by actor and filmmaker Grayson Berry, WRTIY continues to champion audacious storytelling and emerging talent. The event provides a dynamic platform for filmmakers to showcase their work, engage in meaningful dialogue, and receive valuable, constructive feedback in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

This year's festival promises exciting new additions, including a major expansion of its popular "Student Saturday" segment. Berry explains,

"We were so impressed with last year's student submissions that we knew we had to grow this part of the festival. This year, we're inviting young filmmakers aged 13–20, including group projects, to participate. The creativity and originality coming from these students is truly inspiring."
