Clifton Film Festival Starts $1,500 Kickstarter Campaign

The fifth annual Clifton Film Festival will need to raise $1,500 in order to operate smoothly. Prizes for donating to its Kickstarter campaign include free tickets to the event and a chance to mingle with the filmmakers and actors. 

"My favorite part of the festival is to see the kids keep submitting stuff and to see it improve every year," said festival founder Dani Weinberg. "It doesn't take too much to run but any extra money allows us to do new and exciting things to improve the festival." 

The festival will be held July 20 at the Workhouse Arts Center and will feature dozens of short films, all of which will be shown on an inflatable outdoor movie screen.

Awards are given to students and 19-year-old+ filmmakers in these categories: 

• Best picture
• Best cinematography
• Best editing
• Best screenplay
• Best sound

The festival will only be funded if the $1,500 goal is met by June 26.
