Our filmmakers and cast are racking up the miles this month. Our 2015 short film "If Not Now" is an official selection into the 3rd Annual Milledgeville Film Festival in Georgia. Writer/director Lori Kay Allred and producer Scott Takeda will attend along with cast member Catherine McGuire.

The following week, Allred will escort our latest film "The Decision" to the SENE Film Festival in Providence, Rhode Island. This is the first festival for that film.

"I'm so excited for both films," said Allred. "Milledgeville has developed a terrific reputation among filmmakers for attracting some of the best filmmakers in the country. And it's just outside of Atlanta – one of the busiest film production centers in the US. And SENE is the perfect festival for the premier of "The Decision." The film fans in Rhode Island are passionate and attend in huge numbers.  I'm can't wait to get their reactions to our newest film."

"This is my first film festival so I had no idea what to expect," said director Lori Kay Allred. "However all of my director colleagues strongly suggested this festival because its programmers were very selective, so I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of terrific films and meeting the filmmakers."

"I was happy because we came home with a nomination," said producer Scott Takeda. "SENE Film Festival jurors recognized the beautiful cinematography of Dave Klein."
