Spend an Evening with the Bandit on August 23rd!

The Bandit Film Festival is a way of reaching out to the film community of Philadelphia. The goal of the film festival is simple: invite fellow film makers to come together to help our group raise funds that will afford us the opportunity of getting our upcoming short film made.

The Bandit Film Festival is a product of THE FILM BANDITS and we hope to create a networking circle of film makers in the Philadelphia area. This festival is already connecting local film junkies to others with the same passion.

WHEN: August 23, 2008
WHAT: A festival to help raise money for a film that is planned to shoot in September.
TIME: The festivities will start at 5:30pm and last until 11:30pm.
ITINERARY: 5:30pm: Bands *yet to be named* will start playing.  Approximately 7:30pm: There will be a cupcake hour right before the films start. Approximately 8:30pm: We plan to show 7 short films, with introductions and questions at the end of the showing.
THINGS TO EXPECT: Bake sale! Cupcakes! An appearance by the BANDIT himself! Food! Films! Fun!
