DC Shorts Film Festival Starts Thursday

DCS2010_Logo.jpgI know most of you take a bathroom break or restock the guac on Oscar night when they award the Best Documentary Short Film award, but you have a chance to see it and 96 other short films this week during The DC Shorts Film Festival. 
 
From September 9 - 16, DC is the place for short films, so don't miss the chance to be entertained and amazed while seeing some of the best work offered by filmmakers who don't have the budget of Michael Bay and Steven Spielberg.  Without the bucks, they have to focus on storytelling, and that's a good thing.   

The 7th Annual presentation of the festival features a screening of Oscar winner Music By Prudence hosted by writer/director Roger Ross Williams on Friday, September 10 at the Landmark E Street Cinema. 

If you haven't heard about it, the film tells the story of a young woman from Zimbabwe who is  unwanted by some in her family, ostracized for her medical condition, and struggling to make her way through this world until her amazing talent is discovered.

The festival has something for everyone whether you are looking for family films, dramas, comedies, documentaries and more. 

Plus, local filmmakers can check out seminars about getting your movie made and marketing it.
