On Saturday, January 25th, during the 2 year anniversary of principal photography, we finally screened the film for the cast & crew! I wont say much other than, of course, we had issues at the start of the screening, specifically in the form of the theater projectionist being an hour & a half late. However, once we got going, it went incredibly well. It wouldn't be Summit if something terrible didn't go wrong just before everything goes right. It was lovely to finally be able to share the film with the key people who helped make it. A big thank you goes out to all of them. Now we look forward to sharing it with audiences!

IndieWorks: Insider Series w/ Nicholas Santos
Part of our effort for IndieWorks is to feature & support indie filmmakers outside of our monthly screenings. We bring our winning filmmakers to your screen for a chat with IndieWorks co-host Lauren A. Kennedy in our series titled "IndieWorks: Insider Series".
Nicholas Santos won our Silver Whiskers Award in March 2014, the last screening before our 1st Best of Fest, for his moving short film "Worlds We Created." He has screened 5 of his films with us, and we hope to continue screening his future work because he's a real local talent that we're proud to showcase. We invited him over to discuss his style & production company BullMoose Pictures. *Please note that this is being released after some of the screenings discussed.
