Showcase and Indie Mississippi
The State Theatre's Indie Film Showcase was a success. Over 90 people came for the screening, and the films screened had a great reception. The event really showcased what great talent there is in MS. Thanks to everyone who attended and to all the filmmakers who screened their wonderful films.
Three Shendopen films were premiered at the event. April Wren's What Happened? at Cookies and Milk were screened and had a great reception. The overwhelming reaction to What Happened? was very satisfying. Michael Williams' (un)wanted was also screened.
To continue the mission of bringing the indie film community of MS together, a new social networking site for the filmmakers, actors, and film enthusiasts of MS. The site is free to join and will be a great resource for staying informed and involved with the film community of the state.
