A great way to showcase your work is coming up this summer. On Saturday, August 10th, the inaugural Neepawa Film Festival will take place at the Roxy Theatre in Neepawa.
The deadline to submit a movie is Friday, July 12th, and qualifying is simple, according to festival Chair, James Willis:
"Basically, as long as you have a connection to an area within a radius of a hundred kilometres of Neepawa. The connection can be that 'I have lived there, I have worked there, my wife lives there.' It's really just to promote the local filmmaker."
Willis also says any age movie-maker can enter, and that movies submitted must be family-friendly.
The festival is also looking for support from businesses. They can sponsor the festival outright, or a certain movie category. There will also be a ticket available that will get you into every session during the film festival, and that type of ticket is available for sponsorship, as well.
Willis also noted that Neepawa's Community Access Television Station (NAC TV) will broadcast the movies shown at the festival.
The Neepawa Film Festival is put on thanks to a coordinated effort from The Roxy Theatre, NAC TV, and ArtsForward. For more information on the festival, and how to submit your work, go to the festival's website.
