With just one week from the festival, we have been getting a lot of emails regarding the criteria and genera of the festival. Although we can’t give out the secret criteria, we can give you a list of the possible genres for the festivals. The films will have to fallow one of the fallowing genres.
The genres are:
-Western
-Comedy
-Dramatic
-Action / Adventure
-Mystery
We also have some pretty cool judging info to pass out. This year, the films will be judged by SECOND CITY! A group of members from the Redco Second City touring improv group lead by KU Alum Megan Hovde Wilkins will be judging all the films this year! We are excited to be working with them! Keep checking out the website this week as we update it with judging info and more!
