Know any filmmakers or composers in Denver? They should sign up for this awesome collaborative festival with a live orchestra at the film screening!
Signups end today (Nov 30) for composers, but the filmmaker deadline is extended through Dec 31.

Adding dice to my to-do lists, because normal to-do lists suck! 🎲 🤓
