Ian McCarthy, the head programmer for the 22nd Annual NHFF, calls in for the second of our three Film Festival interviews and talks all about the number of films that were submitted, how they did their film selection as well as naming some of the films he and his team are excited to be shown. He breaks down the various Film Festival Passes that are being offered and chats up some of the “perks” added into a few of them. We really dig into the Thursday October 17th films because that’s the day films tied to New Hampshire have their own day to shine. And the day pass is only $30!!!! Some special “blocks” are brought up as well such as the “Rolling with the Punches. Welcoming You into the World of Stunts” and the “Young Filmmakers Workshop”. Trust me, the hour is packed!
