Several times a year, dozens of amateur Northern Nevada filmmakers work to create short films 5-9 minutes long, in only 2 weeks. Their submissions are judged and winners are chosen in categories including Best Director and Audience Choice, and the films are screened and awards given at the Brewery Arts Center in Carson City. The competition is coming up soon for Carson Creepy, a horror themed edition. This year's screenings will take place on October 25 and you can learn more at https://breweryarts.org/event/20241019-carson-creepy/
On this week's episode of Renoites we talk with Lyric Burt, Co-founder and President of Silver State Storytellers, the non-profit that puts on this great event. We talked about the ever-increasing accessibility to filmmaking, the local filmmaking community, Northern Nevada's appeal as a location for film production, Reno's local theater and the recently announced merger of Reno Little Theater and Good Luck Macbeth, and more!
