On July 18, Justin and I attended the Shamrock Film Festival in Rosemount, MN where three of our films screened (The Room Upstairs, Focus, and simulacra) along with 16 other films from Minnesota filmmakers. Being that it was the first film festival for Rosemount, I believe it was a success. They had many quality entries and a fairly large attendance from friends, family, filmmakers, and just interested community members.
A panel of judges screened the films before the event and announced the award winners at the festival. Focus won “Best Screenplay” and simulacra won for “Best Picture.” It was extremely exciting and unexpected. We look forward to submitting our future films to this local film festival that promotes filmmaking in Minnesota. http://www.thisweeklive.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2627&Itemid=62
