<H2>TICKET FAQs</H2>
 
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
Made in the West is an 18+ event.
While we don't know the exact line-up just yet, we DO know that many of the films will contain mature content. This means that all of the usual things (including strong language, sex scenes, adult themes, drug use and violence), will probably make an appearance at some point throughout the night. That means you can't bring your kids. 
Note: If you are the parent or guardian of an under-age cast or crew member of one of our finalist films, feel free to contact us to discuss your options.
