PEOPLE’S CHOICE SHORT: “Down No. 5” produced/directed by former Huntington resident, Kim Spurlock

Winners receive a handcrafted Blenko customized “apple” (or “appy”) and collect winnings ranging from $250 to $1,000.
The festival had over 150 films and screenplays competing.
Guest Artist, Jacob (“Dancing Outlaw”) presented his newest production, “The Object,” which explores the life changing events of a man who believes he has found the Bibical artifact known as the Urim and Thummim, which was worn by Moses to receive answers from God.
