Filmstock Arizona 2013

Filmstock runs a number of film festivals every year in the four corner states: New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. In addition to running a competition in each state each year, Filmstock cycles some of the winners to screen as special engagements in other states, effectively working as its own festival circuit.

Filmstock has been running since 2009 but I'm new to it with the Filmstock Arizona 2013 screenings that are coming up at Tempe Pollack Cinemas between 5th and 7th December.

The event runs over three days with a number of selections of short films, introduced by local actors of note. This event will see selections presented by James Ray, Greg Renfro, Victoria Paege, Shane Dean, Tiffany Shepis, Laurie Love and Greg Bronson.

Here are all the films screening at this event this year, with titles linking to my reviews and the IMDb pages added for reference.
