The third installment of the Film Slam is over. It was held on Sunday, March 11 at the Enzian Theater in Maitland. For those that haven't experienced it, it is always on the 2nd Sunday of every month leading up to a Grand Slam in December. It is a contest and the winner from each monthly Slam is entered into the Grand Slam. The winner of that is automatically entered into the Florida Film Festival.
One of this week's entries was by Elizabeth Anne. She mentioned in the Q & A afterwards that she is currently in pre-production of a music video. Of particular interest, the budget for this music video is over double that of her previous.
