This film festival is wonderful! Not only does it work to promote local film and filmmakers, but it also educates film students or others through different workshops! As a film lover, independent films are some of my favorites, so seeing the festival I felt compelled to share my most recent called Empathy Inc. The indie sci-fi thriller follows Joel (Zack Robidas) on a redemption journey after suffering a big loss as a venture capitalist. As he discovers and becomes involved with the titular start-up company and their daunting virtual reality technology, reality becomes blurred and Joel is forced to truly question who he is and what he cares about. The dark and moody nature of the film is highlighted through its monochromatic visuals and truly delivers an eerie, engaging viewing experience for the audience. I truly loved the film and really just wanted to share it with other film lovers, so if anyone is interested the trailer for it can be found on Youtube! ... See MoreSee Less
