This Saturday is the 2nd annual Dead City Film Fest. We asked Jordan Terrell, co-founder of the Fairborn Phoenix, about why he created this festival and he share with us “we created a film festival I would want to go to. Filmmaking in essence is a punk rock art forum. To get a film finished is an incredibly difficult task where everything is against you. It’s often Shoot now, ask for forgiveness later, don’t forget your bolt cutters and sell your car to finish the film.”
This weekend they will be celebrating 20 films from local and world wide talent.
A few films that will be screened include:
The Happiest Guy in the World – Lance Oppenheim – who just got picked up at A24 for his first fiction after his incredible documentary films Some Kind Of Heaven, Sperm World and Ren Faire
