The 6th Film Slam of 2008 is this Sunday, June 8th at the Enzian Theater in Maitland. If you aren't familiar with Maitland, don't worry. It's really just a couple blocks north of the Winter Park Village.
Make your way to the Enzian by 1pm and you can catch 8 short films for $5.00. You get to vote on the films and the film with the most points gets awarded another screening in December at the Brouhaha Film & Video Showcase.
The total running time for the films is just over 66 minutes and they will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers which is moderated by host John Theisen.
Here is a list of the 8 films with a short synopsis of each.
