Last Call - TvFILM Season Finale!
Here's what's on tap this Sunday for the TvFILM season finale:
Know Candy
Jon Russell Cring and Tracy Cring
Mitchell is a successful lawyer, yet bored by the tedium of his work. His life takes a turn when he follows clues from a string of mysterious text messages.
The Universal
John W. Yost
John's Dad almost died from a motorcycle accident. The Universal is an experimental narrative that uses the idea of a time-traveling motorcycle to fulfill the part of John that can never go back and warn his father. Each piece is a small piece of the bigger puzzle and it is up to the audience to fill in those gapes of space and time with their own experiences.

TvFILM Mission Re-Statement
The announcement of this year’s short films and filmmakers will be coming soon. In the meanwhile, for the record, here is TvFILM’s Mission Re-Statement:
TvFILM is a showcase of upstate independent short films and a spotlight for the filmmakers who created them. We are here to nurture the regional independent film community by using the power of public media. Our goal is to bring as many short films and filmmakers as possible to our audience, through television, the web and even radio. TvFILM is NOT a contest. There are no winners or losers.

OK, maybe the lighthouse bit was too much but you get the point.
TvFILM, your film on your public television station!
Stay tuned for Season 3.0 premiering on WMHT, Sunday, June 26th at 10:30pm!
