Emerge 2019 - feel free to tag yourself!

What an amazing year for the Emerge Film Festival.

First of, thank you to each and every filmmaker who submitted films to the festival. The quality of our event depends on hard working artist, determined to tell their stories to the world.

Second, our amazing volunteers. From check-ins, to tech, we had an unstoppable crew of dedicated volunteers who made the festival run smoothly.

And finally, thank you to our audience. The people of Lewiston-Auburn and the surrounding areas. Art doesn’t truly complete its journey until it is experienced. You this week, you gave that journey a satisfying end. Thank you for supporting the films that showed, the arts in LA, and the Emerge Film Festival. You are the reason we do this!
