9th Annual St. Louis Filmmaker’s Showcase

Are you an aspiring filmmaker? If not, do you know someone who is? If so, you may see one of their films during the St. Louis Filmmaker’s Showcase. If not, you’ll still see plenty of great feature and short films during this 9th annual love affair with local filmmaking. On that note, even if you just simply love great movies, this is still a wonderful event to patronize.

The Ninth Annual SLFS will be held July 18-23, 2009. This event focuses exclusively on the work of local directors and filmmakers, as well as expatriates with strong local connections who have gone on to use their creative talents in other cities. Tickets are on sale now!

For the filmmakers, Saturday is your day to learn, with filmmaking seminars running throughout the day. For the film buffs and movie geeks, be sure to get out and see at least one of the features during this event and make an effort to take in a few of the shorts while you’re at it.
