Congratulations to the selected Festival Films!

September 18, 2008

Congratulations to our selected films and filmmakers!

We received a number of quality entries this year - far more entries than we could possibly program. The high quality of entries made the selection process extremely difficult, especially with the limited number of programming spots our festival had available.  All submissions deserve applause for their hard work and creativity.  Seeing the quantity and quality of the submissions only made us even more excited for next year.  Till then though, below are the list of this year’s films.

Click to see the Festival Schedule. Tickets are now available online! Please stay tuned as the festival is just around the corner!
