2003 CRI Film Festival
The Cedar Rapids Independent Film
Festival was created to provide a place for local filmmakers to
show their work to peers and the general public.
In its third year, the festival
grew by leaps and bounds, arriving at a total of 43 films submitted
for consideration. Twenty-two selected entries were screened April
4 and 5 at Cherry Auditorium at Coe College. 2003's work covered
many genres and skill levels, including comedies, dramas, and
documentaries by master and student filmmakers. Speakers included
Herb Kane and Mike Hall from CriticDoctor.com, Shirley Long from
Screenwriters Bootcamp; and the keynote address was given by Steve
Schott of the IMPA, Iowa Film Office, and producer of numerous
tv and movie projects.
