The 10 stories have been filmed in Sacramento over the summer after volunteer production and acting crews were built last May.  The 10 filmmakers had their winning scripts selected in a competitive review earlier in the year.

All local actors and production crews appear in the following films:

"Afternoon Delight" by Danna Wilberg

"Regrets" by Larry Menard

This festival was created by former Access Sacramento Executive Director Ron Cooper in 1990 as a was showcase and support local filmmakers who couldn't get their movies onto the big screen.  As a process, it turned out to the the original Project Greenlight method, and now has been replicated in many other communities.
