The Last Day Standing ...

Xavier has left, Gerald is in ...
To count over 50 film makers have come through the Festival to promote, talk, and mingle. Philadelphia's first Online Network has stood tall 24/7.

We have screened over 100 movies and the response from you all (and the Press) has been fantastic.

We're off to get the screenings going again ...
