Presenter: Festival Director, Carlie Dunbar
Description: Want to learn more about the Outdoor Outdoor Film Festival (“OOFF”)? Founded with the mission of sharing the natural beauty and adventures in our own backyards, the Outdoor Outdoor Film Festival (OOFF) seeks to bring people together through stories of people living life to their fullest, outdoors. This session will be hosted by OOFF festival director, Carlie Dunbar and who will discuss the festival, its goals, submission timeline and criteria, festival content structure, and more. The end of the session will be open for questions and discussion among peers. We hope this session will encourage more New Brunswick filmmakers to get out and produce more films that showcase our beautiful region, and highlight the outdoor enthusiasts that call Atlantic Canada home. No community is too small, and no adventure too quirky to be part of OOFF - it is the heart and soul of a story that makes it special.
