Freaky: \\\u02c8fr\u0113-k\u0113\\ (adj.); weird, somewhat frightening, strange or unusual; bizarre; conspicuously or grossly unconventional.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re an amateur filmmaker with a \u201cfreeky\u201d film, we want to see it! Sleepy Creek Vineyards<\/strong> is holding its first annual Freeky Creek Film Festival<\/strong> on Halloween <\/strong>weekend (October 29<\/strong> through October 31<\/strong>) of 2010<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We are seeking short films with running times no more than 20 minutes \u2013 10 minutes or less would be ideal \u2013 with freaky, frightening, and funny content in the spirit of the Halloween season. Halloween is about scaring and being scared, but it\u2019s also a time to mock the things that frighten us, so comedy is appreciated (but not required)!<\/p>\n

The event will be held at our winery, just south of Oakwood, IL<\/strong>; directions can be found at www.sleepycreekvineyards.com<\/a>. Feel free to forward\/post this announcement to your fellow filmmakers or film group. (And, yes, \u201cfreaky\u201d is spelled \u201cFreeky\u201d in the festival name\u2026)<\/p>\n
