Thank you to everyone who joined us for a stellar day of indie short films! It was a packed Saturday that concluded with two amazing horror blocks at the Poulsbo Regal Cinemas. All who remained was Leonard the skelington!

Thank you so much to Regal Cinemas of Poulsbo for hosting us this year! Major shout out to the General Manager Joseph Heckel for stepping up in a huge way to help make this event possible.

A big shoutout to our location partners. We are so excited to be at Regal for the first time, and equally excited to share the love with some Viking Ave. businesses! Thank you to Ty's W**e and Brew for hosting our brunch for sponsors, filmmakers, and VIP, and thank you to Rainy Daze Brewing for hosting our wrap party & awards. This event is only possible because of how much support we have from local businesses. Please support them next time you are looking for a spot to have a beverage! 🍻
