2022 MFA Winter Film Challenge Virtual Premiere

Witness the VIRTUAL premiere screening of 18 short films from Maine filmmakers at 7pm on Thursday, February 10

From February 3rd to 6th, Maine filmmaking teams braved the winter chill to spend 72 hours writing, shooting, and editing original short films.

All of the tickets for the in-person premiere have been claimed by Challenge team members, sponsors, and event volunteers, but on February 10, you can see the films and awards presentation from the comfort of your own home via a VIRTUAL viewing portal, presented by the Maine Outdoor Film Festival!

"We have been fortunate to have made two movies in Maine — The Way We Get By and Beneath The Harvest Sky.” Maine is a very special state in that there are so many options for locations. Given its size, you can travel to northern Maine, southern Maine, all along the coast, and tell a number of different stories in totally unique worlds with each film having very distinctive looks. The abundance of locations combined with the incredible generosity of the people and communities, make filmmaking in Maine a pure joy. We would not be filmmakers today without the support from the people of Maine and we will be forever grateful."

- Gita Pullapilly and Aron Gaudet, The Way We Get By and Beneath the Harvest Sky

"Filming in Maine was a dream, simply because of the people. We came to Maine and found enthusiasm and friendliness. People wanted to help out any way they could and were excited to be a part of something. That sort of thing doesn’t happen in Los Angeles or New York or even Georgia. It’s really beautiful for people to come together to support a large artistic project like this."

- James Khanlarian, Director, The Ghost Trap
