Other films?  Well, yes, some are lacking and may not make it due to a lack of artistic expression, lighting, story, cinematography, you name it.  :)   But watching some of these submittals is indeed fun, entertaining and encouraging.  We continue to get films from all over.  We’re excited as our inaugural year is off to a good start.  We ‘re learning as we go.  Thank you for hanging with us!
