All submissions are finished going through the jury process. Scores have been tabulated & screening schedules are up (View them NOW) . Submissions will be looping all week at the IKE Box where an IKE Customer’s Choice Ballot will determine what film will screen in the “Wild Card” spot at the Award Screening Saturday afternoon at the Historic Elsinore Theater.
Tuesday April 18th at 7pm the IKE Box will be featuring the 72-Hour Project Screening Engagement. 20 groups of filmmakers embarked on a challenge to produce a film from scratch in 72-Hours, 10 emerged triumphant.
