The festival kicks off at 12:00 pm on October 7th at the Hollywood Theatre and some of the films being screened include ‘PITCHING LUCAS’, recent winner of the George Lucas Selects and Audience Choice awards, Trey Stokes' ever-popular ‘PINK FIVE’ series, and a rare screening of one of the earliest fan films, ‘THE DARK REDEMPTION’, by Peter Mether (just to name a few).
