Join us on October 25th, 2008 at the Piasa Film Festival. The festival will present the Illinois Premiere of "Shadowland" - a Thriller full length feature filmed in St. Charles, Missouri. This film was written and directed by Wyatt Weed and produced by Pirate Pictures. The film has received awards from the St. Louis Film Showcase for Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film, Best Director, Wyatt Weed and Best Actress, Catilin McIntosh.
The festival will also showcase two aspiring filmmakers from Webster University. Former student, Dan Allen will present the action film, "101 Damnations" and current student, John Richter will present "ULTRA" a sci-fi film.
A panel of judges will present awards for Best Film, Best Director and Best Cinematography. The audience will be able to vote on their favorite film of the night for the PIASA Award. This award is presented for Best Artistic Imagery.
Scott Stoltz, the producer said, "We are very excited to present a festival that is being so well received. The festival is already booked years in advance for locations in Edwardsville (2009), Grafton (2010) and Alton (2011). We intend for the festival to grow, to offer many films over the course of 3-5 nights and multiple screening locations and to offer a broad spectrum of film genres in the future."
