Doors open 1 hour prior to the first film time.

Join us for an evening of entertainment and fun during the first 2023 Festival event.  Walk the red carpet, get your photo taken, order dinner, and have a signature cocktail while enjoying entertainment.  There will be a talkback with filmmakers following the films.  Our Jury selected filmmaker will be in attendance to chat with the audience and His award will be presented.  The audience will have the opportunity to select their Audience Choice winner, and the filmmaker of that film will also be awarded.

VIP Ticket holders can indulge in light appetizers with our filmmakers and staff prior to the film screening and enjoy a Champagne Toast with the winning filmmakers in attendance following the award presentation.
