I would like to send a congratulations to all of the nominees and winners tonight at the 7th Annual Chatham Kent International Film Festival. We had so many wonderful films submitted this year. Many of the categories were so close in votes and I truly believe every nominee should pat themselves on the back for a job well done!
The festival is what it is because of the excellence in filmmaking we see by all of the very talented filmmakers who submit to us from around the world.
I can't wait to see what the 8th Annual film festival brings! (Submissions open January 1st... not that I am excited or anything lol)
