THANK YOU EDMONTON! ❀️

3 days. 3 packed houses. 11 film blocks. 42 films. 19 Vendors. 3 music acts. Countless scares, smiles, snacks, drinks and more. Most importantly we all got to hang out together.

We aren't the Oscars, and that's just the way we like it. No red carpets... Just good times. We don't rent a theatre, we build one - and even better, we're building the most absolute kick-ass community of avid film lovers, filmmakers, and artists out there.

You showed up, and we honestly can't thank you enough.

Send us any photos, videos, or fun moments!

Until next time. πŸ™
