Organizer Eric Freese says your entry needs to be in by Saturday to make this year’s competition. Freese says they’ve already seen entries comparable to last year.with around 30 entries at this point, and he expects a few more to be dropped off before the deadline. Freese says there are a lot of Iowans who shoot films.He says they have a student category and a master category that includes armatures and professionals. He says they get feature length films, long form documentaries, experimental films and music videos. The winners will be announced in March, and then the festival is in April. He says it’s a two-day event that will screen the films and present the awards. This is the fourth year for the festival, and Freese says last year was the first they really went after entries. He says you must have your entry in by tomorrow at midnight to be eligible for this year’s competition..
