To everyone that’s donated so far, helped spread the word, or had something kind to say about the talks, thank you.
After a lot of feedback and...

Announcing this year's compere: Jesse Thorn

This is something that’s happened unaided at Build in previous years, but this year, we didn’t want to leave that up to chance. We are proud to introduce our compère, Jesse Thorn.
Jesse Thorn is the host and producer of The Sound of...

Announcing Ghostbusters!
Pretty stoked to announce that we’ll be screening Ghostbusters as the headline feature at this year’s Build Film, taking place on Monday evening in the Black Box.

Our new website will go live at midday this coming Monday—at which point we’ll announce the full lineup and...
