Fiander Film Festival: “Call to Entries” PRINTED in the Portland Phoenix

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:08:00 -0500

AYUH

The ”FFF: Call to Entries” advertisement has hit the stands in the glorious state of Maine! Grab this week copy of the Portland Phoenix! I lived in Maine for five and a half years and if I learned anything about that wicked awesome state: it’s CHUCK FULL of TALENTED artists; photographers, videographers, tattoo artists, performance artists, painters - you name it; Maine’s got it.

Perhaps the ad will reel in a few more entries from up North!

Special thanks to the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies and the Maine Film & Video Association for spotlighting the “Fiander Film Festival: Call to Entries” on their Facebook pages! Gotta love Maine.

Fiander Film Festival: "Call to Entries" PRINTED in the City Paper

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:25:15 -0500

Entries for the Fiander Film Festival are starting to come in. Perhaps the advertisement in the Washington City Paper will reel in a few more good flicks. Stay Tuned!

I would also like to point out… that I think it’s very fitting that the Fiander Film Fest Ad was placed next to a wedding photographer aaand 105.5 FM’s Bluegrass Ad. Nice work City Paper… Nice. Work.
