Hometown filmmaker and KWFF Director Quincy Perkins (Love in Youth) will also be there for the closing night awards party.
Opening Night, Thursday June 7th, will kick off with the new Zellner Brothers feature film Damsel (Sundance/Berlin 2018), starring Robert Pattinson, including a Q&A with the brother director team! Friday June 8th and Saturday June 9th will feature four shorts programs by international and local filmmakers.
Join Billy, Quincy, filmmakers, and film fans closing night poolside when awards will be handed out for Best Comedy and Documentary, the Audience Award (called the Square Grouper), the Perry Student Award, The Silver Stiffy for best local film and Golden Stiffy for best all-round potential, and the Corben Contraband selected by the co-host himself.A Sunny Place for Shady People
