7pm: WALLA WALLA MOVIE CRUSH CHALLENGE
WORLD PREMIERE! In honor of this inaugural edition of the WWMC, we asked ten of our favorite filmmakers/filmmaking teams to create brand-new shorts in response to this prompt: Your first crush.The only other parameter was that these movies could be no longer than seven minutes. (NOTE: no one, including the organizers of this festival, will have seen these shorts until they hit the screen. And, who knows if they will be seen again. This is truly a World Premiere event.)
New films by:
The Adams Family
Genevieve Anderson,
Wendy Jo Carlton
Rick Castaneda
Mtume Gant
Jadoliv Studios
