Our November Locals Only will be our final Locals Only of the year! This month’s event will be a retrospective and will feature seven of our favorite short films we’ve screened this year, interspersed with Q&A’s led by SFS’s Programming Team. The Films Screened will include:

Everything Happens (5 Min, Comedy/Drama, Dir. Andrew “Ducky” Dutkiewicz): A mother prepares a family dinner. Her son made other plans. A dog gets lost. Everything happens.
The Connoisseur (3 Min, Comedy/Horror, Dir. Eric Morgret): You've been invited to a very special wine tasting.
