FIRST PARAGRAPH: Exciting news on the local film maker front: The Missouri Film Alliance and the Moxie will present a five month series dedicated to Springfield-area filmmakers starting in January. These monthly screenings will be on the first Tuesday of the month and are FREE thanks to a generous grant from the Community Foundation of the Ozarks. We need two things. First, a name for the event. Springfield Verité? Your Neighbor�s Indies? James Cameron Presents? Please help us come up with something better. And secondly, we need submissions. Any aspiring directors out there should drop off two DVDs of their film (short or long) at the Moxie. Submissions will be rolling so there�s time to finish that project�you know who you are. Spread the word.
