We have chosen the festivals that we will submit C.S.I. Sierra Madre to:
DC Short Film Festival Most film festivals, including so-called independent-friendly events, focus attention on the commercial possibilities and establishment filmmakers. DC Shorts turns the spotlight on truly independent short films, created by new and established filmmakers in an era of digital video and home computers -- an era where the art of filmmaking is opening to all. Our selection of films features entries from the entire spectrum -- from experienced directors to an amateur family production. It is our hope that the filmmakers will both teach and learn as they gather in Washington, DC. Last year's event screened more than 65 films from 9 countries. Each one of the seven showcase played to sold out audiences.
