Fake Birthday Film Festival 2024

Tonight was the 4th annual Fake Birthday Film Festival. It’s called that in memory of Austin Ebersol lying about his birthday on Facebook. Local filmmakers produce short films in randomly-chosen genres and using randomly-chosen items.

Johnathan entered a mocumentary on our fair town of Branson and won best writing. This was the first year he entered a video and only his second short film, so it was pretty cool. Bambi and I starred in a couple of the films, but didn’t win any awards (I was going for best actor).
