FILMMAKER AMBER MCGINNIS ACCEPTED TO GEENA DAVIS FILM INITIATIVE
We’d like to extend a big congrats Amber McGinnis, who won our Best Feature Film for INTERNATIONAL FALLS in 2019, for her selection in Geena Davis’s Bentonville Film Foundation initiative for female filmmakers. Amber’s ability and vision were on full display in INT. FALLS and we’re certainly surprised by Amber’s selection in the development program. It was a pleasure having Amber in attendance when we screened her film in last year’s Summit, and it was evident very quickly Amber possessed the ingenuity, empathy, and humility to excel in the industry.
Please check out more about the foundation here: Bentonville Film Foundation.

LIBRARY HOURS
We’ve had the opportunity to meet many filmmakers over the 10-year-period of our film series, and Jim was certainly one who stood-out to us when he submitted his film DRIFT in 2011. Jim went on to make several outstanding films that explore the dark places, we don’t like to talk about in normal life.
Jim’s most recent film, LIBRARY HOURS, is available for viewing at Omeleto. About the film: A recent widow named Camille falls into a strange, long-distance courtship with a librarian named Delphine, her dead husband's first wife. The film stars Cam Damage and Melissa Vento. The film’s trailer can be found here.
And, of course, please watch the film here
