No matter what the art, the simplest goal is to share with others the personal creativity and also to get feedback, encouragement, and acceptance. I need it in my architecture: when I post a project on FACEBOOK, I yearn for "likes". These film makers deserve the same. Some even mentioned that this festival marked the most people to see their projects and the most to give encouragement.
As a personal note, I was disappointed that we were the ONLY non-film makers there to view the films!
The films watched:
"Adoption" An adult daughter of a sick man finds out she is adopted and searches for her birth mother.
"We Choose You" A teen girl deals with the foster family system
"Lavender" A comedy of a Gay man and a Lesbian who's mothers "Hook them up for a blind date!"
"Captured" A man dealing with the disappearance of his wife (A journalist assigned to the Middle East Conflict.
"The Glass Owl" a Slap stick crime comedy.
"Mortal Dilemma" a short action film about three men meeting in a West Texas roadside stop.
"Thicker Than Water" a western about retribution concerning three brothers. (FILMED JUST A FEW MILES FROM MY HOME!)
"MISSING" Thriller involving missing teenage girls (surprising twist)
"Behold the Noose" a Slasher story of a County Sheriff at a haunted house.
"Human Wreckage": a couple trying to survive the Zombie Armageddon. A sly dark comedy.
"Ocean Pond" A Civil War drama about a black Union soldier and his meeting with a slave.
The fun thing about the films (besides the film) is listening to how they were made. Some made in 24 hours!
Creativity is alive and well
I count this as 2015 movies 22 &23 when taken together.
