- **Event Description**: Please join us on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 at 5:30 pm at B.B.'s Lawnside BBQ for the 10th anniversary of Fred Andrews Day!

In 1996, Fred Andrews recognized that Kansas City had an active and growing filmmaking community. He had been developing monthly programs for the Film Society of Greater Kansas City and found enthusiastic audiences for local filmmakers. However, there were few venues for these local artists to show their work and even fewer opportunities to hone their craft.

Even though Fred had never attended a film festival, he took action. His mission was to start a festival for filmmakers to screen their films on the big screen for audiences, to network with other filmmakers, and further develop their skills and creativity. He created the Kansas City Filmmakers Jubilee, a collaboration of the Kansas City Art Institute, University of Missouri Kansas City, Independent Filmmakers Coalition, Film Society of Greater Kansas City, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, and Avila University. Fred distributed flyers to local filmmakers and students inviting them to send entries to an inaugural event. Ten short films were selected and screened at Royall Hall on the UMKC campus.
 
Over time, the Kansas City Filmmakers Jubilee evolved into the Kansas City Film Fest International, and in 2013, the Festival proudly established the Fred G. Andrews Emerging Filmmaker Award. Sadly, we lost Fred in 2016; however, the Mayor of Kansas City proclaimed February 24, 2016 as Fred Andrews Day in honor of Fred's contributions to the city and film community.  

On Tuesday, February 24, 2026 we will celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Fred Andrews Day. Please join us along with Dr. Jane Andrews, Fred's widow, and Shawn Murphy, his stepson, in honor of Fred's memory at 5:30 pm at BB's Lawnside BBQ. There will be selected film screenings, music, and of course, great barbeque. Looking forward to seeing our film community come together for this very special day!
