Real talk: Over HALF the films submitted to our festival were rejected.
Not because the stories were bad.
Because of poor lighting. Bad audio. Weak editing. Thin scripts.
This Saturday at CCBC Essex, working pros fix that — FOR FREE.

✦ Cutting It Close — Neil Beller, Film Editor
✦ Making Sound Choices — Dave Vespoint, Audio Designer
