“I am very satisfied with how our first event went,” said Greg Pribulsky Vice President of the Geauga Lyric Theater. “We had no idea how many film makers would submit, we had no idea how this event would be received by community and media. All in all we are satisfied, very satisfied”

The six day event brought approximately 600 people to the Historic Chardon Square and the event was well received by the film makers and attendees alike.
