FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW SHORT FILM SCREENING SERIES
COMES TO THE OZARKS
Free Monthly Touring Film Series for
the 4 States to Start in Lamar June 28th
Burbank,
California – Hollywood's independent film world is coming to the 4
states.
Ozark
Shorts, a new groundbreaking free traveling film festival in the 4
states, will start on June 28th
in Lamar.
This
unique event is an Ozarks monthly traveling short film series of
family-friendly short films from around the world.
“People
in the 4 states need to be given the opportunity to see great
independent films from around the world they would otherwise never
get the opportunity to see”, said the festival's founder Jack
Truman. “There is a great creative world of short filmmakers that
want to share their art and get their messages out. Everyone should
have the chance to see great art without paying a cent”.
Truman,
an award – winning independent filmmaker and 4 state native, came
up with the idea for a free film festival for the 4 states while his
own films were playing worldwide on the film festival circuit.
“Over
the last 10 years, I've had the fortunate experience of having my
film work screen around the world to independent film audiences”,
states Truman. “There's so many cultures, experiences, lives and
topics that people never get to know about. And film festivals,
whether big or small, offer their local community the chance to see a
touch of these different cultures and lifestyles. I've never found
anything here back home in the Ozarks that's given this community the
chance to share this artistic experience. Hopefully, this screening
series will open a new door to people's eyes in the 4 states”.
The
first screening event is scheduled Saturday June 28th
at 1:00 pm in the Lamar Library at 10th
and Cherry in Lamar, Missouri. Selected filmmakers will be in
attendance from around the world to visit and discuss their screened
film.
Future
monthly screenings will take place in different towns each month in
the 4 state area at local libraries, senior citizen centers, churches
and other venues.
