Submit Now: The Chicago Filipino American Film Festival

Tuesday, August 11, 2009

Definitely short notice - but I just got this sent my way - and well - you actually still do have time for some guerrilla filmmaking and if you're really good, you wait until the last minute anyway, or you dust off that "art" film you made a few years back - or the new one you just made but didn't know where to show it.

You get the picture.
