Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival

Last night I attended the shorts programs at the MSPIFF. All of the films were excellent and I was proud that our film was shown with such great work by other filmmakers. We have a tremendous amount of talent in Minnesota!

The films were shown on Blu-Ray so "The Egg Timer" looked really beautiful on screen. Thanks to MSPIFF for putting on a fantastic festival!
