Harmony Ridge Amateur Film Festival Accepting Submissions

It just seems like film and video, is a great way to bring people together and make connections across the region. I mean, it's not like your transporting a giant painting or sculpture.

With that in mind, I came across this small film shorts festival being held in Ambridge, PA in March 2010.

1. Films must be 30 minutes or less in length.
2. Film must be the original work of the submittter.
3. All entries must be accompanied by the official entry form (see below) and a non-refundable $10 fee. Multiple entries from the same submitter must be submitted individually.

As near as I can tell, it's open to filmakers from all over.
