FILA 2017 Is A Wrap

We wrapped up a great festival on June 11, and I have to say it was one of the most rewarding festivals I’ve yet to program.  I basically love all 25 films.  I want everyone I know who missed these movies to come over and watch them with me.  Is that so wrong?

You can check out the awesome trailer I personally cut for the festival RIGHT HERE.
