Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival 2023 - Writer/director Graham Burrell's Life of the Party will make you wonder just how well you know your co-workers.

Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival 2023 - Writer/director Rioghnach Ni Ghrioghair's Don't Go Where I Can't Find You does more in 20 minutes than some full-length films.

Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival - If you're looking for at least one reason to watch the short Stalked, just consider the fact it has a killer scarecrow. Yes, a killer scarecrow. Move over Chucky, Jason, Freddy, and Michael, there's a new killer in town. It's nice to see a slasher who's not part of [...]
