“We congratulate all of our filmmakers and award winners on their inventiveness, technical skill, and artful storytelling,” Pamela Baker, the programming and marketing librarian at the Nashua Public Library. “It may be a tiny film, but it’s a huge accomplishment, and we thank them for sharing their stories. We’re also grateful to the Friends of the Nashua Public Library, whose sponsorship makes this event possible.”

All of the submitted films were screened at a library event featuring free popcorn and drinks and a re carpet photo booth. Over 115 community members attended to celebrate the local filmmakers.
