Despite being dark for four days immediately following the completion of another banner year for the Florida Film Festival, once Friday hits it's business as usual. That would include the exclusive Orlando engagement of the amazing Korean creature-feature, THE HOST (God, I love it that Enzian has a monster movie on screen!), and the April edition of our monthly Florida shorts showcase, FilmSlam.

Last weekend's collection had a bit of a nightmarish theme going amongst the half dozen selections, and the Audience Award winner for FilmSlam # 4 was Todd Thompson's MR. BUBBS. Honorable mentions went out to Brian Haynes' POPSY and Felix Ortiz' A MENTAL JOURNEY. Congratulations to all the filmmakers, and keep those entries coming.

The next FilmSlam (# 5) is scheduled for Sunday afternoon, May 13, at 1:00 PM, which is the second Sunday of the month like always (submissions are due by the 1st of the month). So come on out and support your local filmmaking community.
