The festival runs from Thursday, September 13th through Sunday, September 16th this year.
Slaten’s short, Cold War [6], was screened at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival. He is currently in preproduction on his latest work, Patriot Act [7], a science fiction thriller set in Houston. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn the basics of filmmaking.
