Sunday's Film Slam Schedule (released Thursday, May 8, 2008) By Douglas Lorah Last month, an attendance record was set at the Film Slam. There was a contingent from Valencia that may have boosted that number. This Sunday, May 11th, there is a film from one of the instructors at Full Sail. It will be interesting to see if the attendance brushes up against the record again. The place: The Enzian Theater in Maitland. 1300 South Orlando Avenue. The time: 1:00pm on Sunday, May 11th. Why? To see local independent film in an actual theater. Sure, coffeehouses have a certain charm, but the hiss of the espresso machine isn't conducive to movie watching. Also, a Q&A with the filmmakers follows each session of the Film Slam.
