THE 2017 OAK CLIFF FILM FESTIVAL IS HERE!
The fest had me out in 2015 and the first thing that struck me was the deep sense of community at the fest. It’s small, but mighty and it was fun then as well as now to see festival friends I’ve met over the years get together to enjoy buzzed about films and hang out. Typically most filmmakers start getting pretty crazy around this time of year trying to finish up films for bigger fests so the June timing is pretty spot-on in terms of recharging creative juices before heading back into the fray.
This years fest boasts a nice variety of films and ones I’m looking forward to include local pal David Lowery’s A Ghost Story, Dustin Guy Defa’s Person to Person and Bob Byington’s Infinity Baby. But like any great film festival, there’s a bunch of unknowns out there. Check back this weekend as I discover more about the Oak Cliff Film Festival and all it has to offer.
