LITTLE HORSES – Directed by Levi Abrino

ECLAT DU JOUR (Daybreak) – Directed by Ian Lagarde

In a Montreal suburb, Xavier and his friends are dealing with pre-teen boredom. They hang out at the park, ride their bikes, mess with each other; it's another suburban summer afternoon. But beneath the smiles lies a growing tension, a certain violence which leads the group to a collective release of unexpected intensity; a ritualistic initiation into adolescence.

PUNCHES & PEDICURES – Ash Brandon

PUNCHES & PEDICURES is a narrative short film about Vietnamese immigrant Victor, who escaped a life of gang activity by relocating to the rural town of Defiance, Ohio. Now the owner of his own business, he aims to help trouble youth from making the same mistakes he once made. He does so by teaching the disciplined sport of Mixed Martial Arts, in one of the most delicate of places.

JIM MORRIS: LIFELONG FITNESS – Directed by Ryan Vance

A documentary short film about a 78 year old vegan bodybuilder.

Free Monthly Short Film Screening Series Comes to the Ozarks

OZARK SHORTS

A Free Monthly Short Film Screening Series

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW SHORT FILM SCREENING SERIES COMES TO THE OZARKS

Free Monthly Touring Film Series for the 4 States to Start in Lamar June 28th

Burbank, California – Hollywood's independent film world is coming to the 4 states.

Ozark Shorts, a new groundbreaking free traveling film festival in the 4 states, will start on June 28^th in Lamar.

This unique event is an Ozarks monthly traveling short film series of family-friendly short films from around the world.

“People in the 4 states need to be given the opportunity to see great independent films from around the world they would otherwise never get the opportunity to see”, said the festival's founder Jack Truman. “There is a great creative world of short filmmakers that want to share their art and get their messages out. Everyone should have the chance to see great art without paying a cent”.

Truman, an award – winning independent filmmaker and 4 state native, came up with the idea for a free film festival for the 4 states while his own films were playing worldwide on the film festival circuit.

“Over the last 10 years, I've had the fortunate experience of having my film work screen around the world to independent film audiences”, states Truman. “There's so many cultures, experiences, lives and topics that people never get to know about. And film festivals, whether big or small, offer their local community the chance to see a touch of these different cultures and lifestyles. I've never found anything here back home in the Ozarks that's given this community the chance to share this artistic experience. Hopefully, this screening series will open a new door to people's eyes in the 4 states”.

The first screening event is scheduled Saturday June 28^th at 1:00 pm in the Lamar Library at 10^th and Cherry in Lamar, Missouri. Selected filmmakers will be in attendance from around the world to visit and discuss their screened film.

Future monthly screenings will take place in different towns each month in the 4 state area at local libraries, senior citizen centers, churches and other venues.
