Roger Blomquist PhD gave a presentation on creating historical documentaries and Kane County Film Commissioner, Kelly Stowell gave a presentation on locations and films shoots in the area. And to Kick things off, Nathan Riddle of IAPFilms hosted a film making 101 course to kick of the event. We’d like to congratulate all the teams on a job well done. A total of 11 teams submitted films under the parameters of the challenge and this year was a smashing success. As you will see, the competitions was thick this year. Remember, these films were produced over a short, intense, grueling two days (52 hours), but the creativity shines in the wake of these film maker’s sleepless nights. We appreciate all the efforts of participants and hope you enjoy the films as much as we did
