This is a message from the 2nd Annual South Dakota Film Festival. Here in South Dakota we are looking for additional ways to allow independent filmmakers to have an outlet to show others their creative talent. Because of this, we have created a new and exciting festival that celebrates not only films shot in the Great Plains, but also those from around the world as 17 states and 3 countries were represented last year. We are asking for your help to get the word out on the newest film festival in South Dakota.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to write to troy@mcquillendesign.com . Any questions about our call for submissions or the festival itself please visit www.southdakotafilmfest.org or call Troy McQuillen at 605-226-3481.
