Filmshift Festival sponsored by The Longfellow Club

Wayland Town Crier 8/24/10: Filmshift Festival sponsored by The Longfellow Club. The Filmshift Festival is coming on October 3, 6, 7, 9 and 10 to the Coolidge Corner Theater, Somerville Theater, and Performing Arts Connection in Sudbury. Filmshift is an independent film festival designed not only to entertain, but spark dialogue about the essential role small businesses and local entrepreneurs play in producing movies and strengthening our nation’s spirit and economy. For a complete listing of the first films chosen visit the Filmshift Website. In keeping with its theme, Filmshift has partnered with several local businesses for sponsorship of the festival and prizes for participating filmmakers, including The Longfellow Clubs of Wayland. Filmshift will donate 20 percent of gross ticket sales to two local nonprofit organizations – Christopher’s Haven, a charity that provides low-cost housing to families of children receiving cancer treatment in Boston, and MetroWest Family Theater, an inclusive community theater group committed to casting roles regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, or the presence of a disability.
