Some names are familiar, some not so familiar so it appears you are in for a treat.Last year featured Elliot Cowan’s masterpiece ‘Brothers in Arms‘ so you know the bar is set quite high.
The shorts will be screened tonight (Friday) at 9:30pm in the Charles Theatre (I’ll be there) and again on Sunday in the Windup Space at 5:00pm. Tickets are $10.
You can find full details of the program as well as complete info on the Maryland Film Festival here.
Very kind, but that bar is set to the middle, matey : )

Yes, sorry Elliot. I couldn’t remember so I had to take a guess.
