More than 600 entries from around the world have been submitted, said Mike Turner, Silverton filmmaker and Silverton Arts Association board member.
“We are really hoping to spread the word to boost our local submissions,” Turner added. “We would love to have Silverton’s creative community represented at the festival.”
