Submit your shorts for film festival CLATSKANIE — A festival of short indie films is coming to Clatskanie. Promoters Ray and Migdalia Etheridge invite filmmakers from Oregon and Washington to submit their work for consider- ation. Films must be no longer than 15 minutes, and may be of any genre, such as comedy, drama, horror, animation or documentary. Filmmak- ers from anywhere in the world are eligible. Films will be selected by a five-judge panel on a point system and graded on their technical merits, acting, script and enter- tainment value. The judges are not looking for home movies or silly YouTube videos, but for serious, well- made films with good stories, Migdalia said. Films with the highest points will be screened at the festival, taking place at the Clatskanie Cultur- al Center in August 2019. Award certificates will be presented in many catego- ries. The Etheridges expect to receive about 150 films; 40 will be selected for the event. For more information, email the Etheridges at clats- kaniefilmfest@yahoo.com.
