After the huge success of the inaugural Elgin Short Film Festival in 2009, the Hemmens Cultural Center is proud to announce that plans are underway for the event to return in 2010. The festival is sponsored in part by the Hemmens Cultural Center, The City of Elgin and The Cultural Arts Commission.
Pete Garlock, co-chair of the event, expressed his pleasure with last years event and hopes to see the event gain momentum in 2010. "We couldn't be happier with the way things turned out last year for our First Annual Elgin Short Film Festival. We had five exceptional and entertaining films, a great crowd that exceeded our expectations and who really seemed to enjoy themselves. Dean Richards was outstanding as our host, and several of the filmmakers said this was the best film festival they've ever attended. Everyone associated with the festival felt it was an overwhelming success. The only negative comments I heard is that it wasn't long enough!"
The cash prizes consist of $1,000 for First Place; $500 for Second Place and $300 for Third Place. Honorable mention awards of $100 each went to the fourth and fifth place winners.
