Writers who take this craft seriously know that hard work can pay off, but it can also be frustrating to produce an independent film worthy to show at the annual Sundance Film Festival. Having some inside knowledge of how to write your story so it will attract the...

So we decided to make a festival where the community decides what is good and what to fund!
