In partnership with the Young Professionals of Quincy, YSPN is hosting a showing of "The Big Dam Film Fest" (as the event has been titled due to its namesake's proximity to
Quincy
). The film fest will be a showcase of films not usually seen at local movie theaters. Instead, the films will encompass a sample of the myriad styles and genres that the ambiguous term "independent film" represents.
YP Quincy developed this event with the hope that it will spur an interest in and appreciation for independent filmmaking while presenting the works in a fun and lighthearted setting for all to enjoy. YSPN members so enjoyed themselves at the fest that they wanted to share the fun with the young professionals in
Springfield
!
The Big Dam Film Fest will be shown in Theatre 3 of the
Hoogland
Center
for the Arts located at
420 S. 6th Street
,
Springfield

Street
