A big thank you to everyone who entered.

An itty bitty film fest in the spooky backwoods of the Pacific Northwest. Twin Peaks ain't got nothin' on Gorst! This is the real shizzle.

We seek indie film of all genres, both narrative (e.g. movies, web series, etc.) and non-fiction (e.g. documentaries, reality shows, etc.)

We do both shorts and features.

[] Best of awards in each category.
[] Official Selection laurels.
