The Huron River Watershed Council is hosting a Huron River-themed film festival on March 13th at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor.  Anyone can enter.  Entry fees are $15, but the deadline for film submissions is December 22.  So, act quick.  The film fest should be fun.  Here’s an excerpt and link to the Dexter Leader:

“The idea arose in a brain storming session about ways to reach a larger audience than the people who are already interested in the river and the environment,” she said. “We are excited to get short, entertaining films that awaken people to the river and their connecting to it. We want to increase the opportunities to show the films and enlarge our audiences. We are also trying to reach a larger spread of people to enter films.”

This year, the festival is asking filmmakers to incorporate at least one of six Huron River Watershed Council messages for protecting the Huron River watershed somewhere in their film. How the message is planted into the film is totally up to the individual or group making the presentation. There are no restrictions on topic, genre or style.

The film festival is open to filmmakers of all ages and experience. Entry fee is $15.
