Ocean City Film Festival Categories
We’re here to create and support a network of artists and film people, from directors to audio technicians to actors, in and around the Ocean City area. While this is our number one priority, there’s also a slight (slight!) competitive edge to the festival, and several awards will be given on Saturday, June 10, including: The Verdict – Judge's choice The Inky Tentacle – Best screenplay The Celluloid Crab – Best use of either analog equipment or practical effects The Pink Flamingo – Film that’s most uniquely reflective of Maryland life The Damn Fine Film – Audience choice Still, fostering a community of artists who help artists is more rewarding than any award we could hand out. Even if you’re not ready to submit anything to this year’s festival, we more than encourage you to come hang out, say hi, see a few films and shake hands with a few directors—and submit your own film in future! The festival screenings, of course, aren’t just for filmmakers or aspiring filmmakers, but for anyone who wants to come and see movies from around the world, and maybe even from their own backyard. Passes will be on sale soon—for updates, we’re on Facebook and on Instagram (@oceancityfilmfest). Hope to see you soon!About Kristin
