EPX Stories Film Festival

East Passyunk Crossing Civic Association and Town Watch EPX presents EPX Stories Film Festival 2008, featuring East Passyunk Crossing Neighborhood, in collaboration with Big Bang Film Festival.

Do you have a good story you want to tell about East Passyunk Crossing? The East Passyunk Crossing Civic Association is inviting residents to tell their stories about living in the East Passyunk Crossing area of South Philadelphia as part of its new Film Festival Project.

Residents can participate in a film project that will record and preserve their stories and life experiences. The Film Festival will take place on November 14 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. with a screening at the Neumann-Goretti High School. For information on submitting entries or to volunteer to be filmed see information and forms below, email epxstories@epcrossing.org, or call 215-462-0221.

Tell us about your neighborhood, East Passyunk Crossing. We want to hear it and see it in action…we are looking to hear from YOU, professional or novice, or just someone with a camera on their cell phone. Tell us your story!

A call to action for independent filmmakers and wanna-be filmmakers starts on September 1 to produce finished short movies in 60 days. Submissions must be received by October 30. A Film Festival entrance fee of $25 is required for filmmakers.

The short films should highlight the East Passyunk Crossing neighborhood, history and history-in-the-making, landmarks, new hot spots, people or happenings. The goal is to gather stories that spotlight what’s wonderful about the people and the neighborhood – past, present and future.

Submitted projects must be all ages appropriate and will be screened for a discerning audience. Selected films will be featured on the EPX website. All entries will be judged and cash and other prizes will be awarded to the winning filmmakers.
