Star Theatre has big plans for this October with their Second Annual Huntington Film Festival, which will be held Oct. 10. With the help of Dean Lehwalder of Huntington, Janice and Percy Mounteer, also of Huntington, are hoping to make this festival, and future festivals, a fun and appropriate way for local amateur filmmakers to spend their time and express themselves, as well as a place where fans of independent film can come to see what is developing in the minds of local filmmakers. Submissions will be due to the Star Theatre by Sept. 30. After being submitted the films will be reviewed, and if deemed appropriate, added to the schedule of the festival. The organizers have created guidelines which must be followed for a film to be featured at the festival. The main guideline rests upon the film’s rating. The festival is meant to be a family friendly activity and therefore organizers ask that before submitting your film you go to MPAA.org and To subscribe to The Emery County Review, simply complete the subscription form below and mail to The Emery County Review, P.O.
