What happens when both professional and first time filmmakers pledge to spend 30 days creating 3-Minute masterpieces? Find out at the 6th Annual 3-Minute Film Festival Black Tie Gala and Film Screening, the August edition of Root Division’s monthly Second Saturday Series. In addition to creative and hilarious cinematic feats, this year’s DIY event features paintings by 2007 festival award winner Holly Coley and Three Angles: Paintings by Root Division Resident Artists Joshua Aaron, Jon Casey Clary, and Kevin E.

Chris moved on to many awesome pursuits including National Novel Writing Month (www.nanowrimo.org) and The Office of Letters and Light (www.lettersandlight.org), and left the festival behind to be randomly, somewhat annually organized for you. Why? Because we love to make films just for the sake of making films, we love to watch films and laugh, and we love YOU.
