Carrboro Film Festival Narrative <br /> Organizational Profile: The Carrboro Film Festival's mission is to promote <br /> creativity, expression and storytelling through filmmaking. By reaching out to <br /> Orange County residents and fostering their myriad talents, the Carrboro Film <br /> Festival presents an avenue for true community and the arts. <br /> This year's festival setting brings together the films, filmmakers and the audience <br /> to enjoy the works made by the people who make up this creatively rich area. <br /> The festival accepts all genres of short films, (20 minutes or less), drama, <br /> comedy, action, romantic, documentary, musical, foreign language or other. Our <br /> two categories are narrative and documentary. <br /> It is our sincere goal to provide the means for beginning and professional <br /> filmmakers alike to get out and create a story using all the methods film <br /> production provides. <br /> The Carrboro Film Festival provided the opportunity for diverse film/video makers <br /> from within our community to share their films/videos with the rest of the <br /> community and with their peers. <br /> Current Programs and Services: The Carrboro Film Festival Committee, along <br /> with other film-focused individuals, is in the process of organizing the 8th Annual <br /> Carrboro Film Festival.

In order to make this a true community effort there will <br /> be three categories for entrants: student (k-12), college, and standard.
