Frustrating news from @sidewalkfilm.bsky.social

“Sidewalk Film Festival’s NEA Grant was withdrawn last night (something awarded in fall 2024 and told to publically announce in Jan 2025). Only 4 months away from the Fest the funds are snatched away.”

I made a VHS-y promo for my pal Jeremy’s upcoming Tape Night event at the @sidewalkfilm.bsky.social cinema. I’m happy with the way it came out (and I think @prolost.com might dig the gratuitous deployment of Red Giant plug-ins).
