Friday August 20th marked the Premiere of 2010's La Grande Summer Film Project in La Grande, OR. This years event drew over 80 participants in the making of 8 short films in 48 hours on August 13-15th. These 8 short films appeared in a stylized presentation outdoors on Depot Street as part of Crossing the Blues. The scene was fresh off of live music from Wasteland Kings and Portland's MarchFourth Marching Band, with the help of Mt. Emily Ale's Beer Garden the event was packed!
An Audience Choice award for best film was given by way of most donations received for their film. Additional awards presented by Project Director Christopher Jennings are listed below. The film covered 8 genres and more than 20 La Grande locations. The project was entitled "Hello" and was seamed together by the use of a phone call. This helped create synergy for the project and allows it to stand on it's own.
