Only film festival devoted to WV state filmmakers

Steve Fesenmaier, former director of WVLC Film Services, co-founded a film festival dedicated solely to films and videos created by in-state filmmakers. Last year he and Kevin Carpenter, a descendent of the first white person to live in the area hundreds of years ago, co-created the Sutton WV Filmmakers Film Festival. In a few days the 3rd edition will begin – running the first two weekends of October. Animators, documentary filmmakers, feature film makers, a filmmaker from Boston who made a recent film on WV native John Nash, subject of \”A Beautiful Mind,\” and others will come together. Fesenmaier will present some of the same films Oct. 17th at the WV Library Association meeting.
