Films to get Freeky at the Creek
Last Wednesday, October 13, our friend Joe Taylor of Sleepy Creek Vineyards in Fairmount finally sent out the list of “freaky and creepy to darkly funny” short subjects that will be unleashed during the first-ever Freeky Creek Short Film Festival. He reports that a common program will be presented all three nights of the festival, to be followed by out-of-competition “After Hours” films. The shows will be Friday, October 29, 8 p.m., Saturday, October 30, 8 p.m., and Sunday, October 31, 7 p.m. “We have a great line-up of short original films made by local, national, and international filmmakers,” says Taylor.
The films will be projected on a large screen and in High Definition (when available) inside the vineyard’s tasting room. Due to limited seating capacity, Taylor encourages attendees to reserve their seats in advance. Tickets will cost $5 and “a special treat will go to those of you that are brave enough to come in costume,” dares Taylor. The 18-and-over event will award prizes to some films and audience awards will be voted on during the Friday and Saturday shows, with the winners announced on Sunday.
The following is the nightly schedule; titles followed by an asterisk (*) are not in competition. Questions can be directed to Taylor at (217) 733-0330 or filmfest [at] sleepycreekvineyards [dot] com.
