“We had over 70 films entered from all over the world” stated Greg Pribulsky, vice president of the Guild and committee chair for the festival. “It is great to see so many talent filmmakers wanting to show their work in our historic theater.”

A total of 44 films (both short and feature length) will be shown over the 6 day event starting on June 9-14.  Films from as far away as Meath, Ireland, Los Angeles, California and Palm Bay, Florida were entered in this first film festival for the Geauga Lyric Theater organization.

“We had films from all over the US, Canada and even Ireland entered..” said Pribulsky.  “I really am amazed at the quality of the work and that we have so many talented filmmakers right here in Northeast Ohio.”

“Of the 44 films to be judged, 30 have been selected from Ohio based filmmakers.”  Pribulsky continued.  “Filmmaking is alive and doing well in Ohio. This is a big reason why we are working so hard to raise funds to build the Geauga Lyric Cultural Arts Center.  Film and Television training is an area where we can utilize the many talented folks in the region.”
