Tonight is the beginning of the Starlite Film Festival in Winter Garden. It is a three day event, showcasing the talent and creativity of filmmakers in micro-budget filmmaking. That is defined as a film costing less than $200,000. One of the films being shown, Waterhole Cove, is directed by a UCF BFA alumni, and other film, Less Lost, is an MFA thesis project. The films being shown from tonight till Saturday night can be attended individually ranging for $5-7 for admission, but there is also an all access pass for $30 that gets you into the opening night after party and into all the films. There is also a keynote speaker tonight, and two panels on Saturday. These panels will include industry experts speaking on how social media is used to market films, and how equipment and cameras are used in micro-budget films. We will be attending the festival tonight and all day Saturday and will give an in depth review of the festival. The festival is being held at The Garden Theatre in Winter Garden. You can purchase an all access pass and gain more information at their website: www.starlitefilmfest.com
