Opening Night events will kick off on May 18th with the locally-made music video ROOFTOP, starring local musician Emily Hearn & local celeb Bill Murray, directed by Brad Jayne, followed by the short film TWO FRIENDLY GHOSTS by UK filmmaker Parker Ellerman, and the feature film ALLEGED by director Tom Hines, a romantic drama based on events occurring behind the scenes and outside the courtroom of the famous Scopes “Monkey Trial” of 1925.

In addition to the film and screenplay competitions, there will be workshops and panel discussions with industry professionals.
