Nice work!

This bad selfie was taken by the goofball in the lower right corner as a way to document photographer Aaron C Packard in his beret before he heads inside the Coyote Twin movie theater in Vermillion, South Dakota.

A square violet poster begins with the text, “Fool’s 48 Short Film Project 2026” printed near the top. A horizontal photograph of Aaron C Packard inside Fotolab No.7 is next, slightly overlapped by the Vermillion Cultural Association logo.

Taken within the Coyote Twin movie theater, this photo shows the screen bearing a large “Thank You” message above the winning short film teams.

Aaron had a blast serving as a judge for the Fool’s 48 Short Film Project hosted by the Vermillion Cultural Association! Congratulations to all the teams!
