This summer’s already seen a number of big blockbuster movies – The Odyssey, the new Spiderman, Toy Story 5. You can reliably catch all these movies at theaters across our region. But there are also many opportunities this summer to see movies produced, directed, or curated by your neighbors.
This hour we’ll preview a number of the upcoming film festivals that highlight new and up-and-coming filmmakers in Vermont, and the ways in which Vermonters can get started on their filmmaking journeys.
We're joined by
Jay Craven, filmmaker and curator of the
Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival which begins on August 26th. Also joining us is Emma Schlenoff, producer of the film The Obelisk, a board member of the
Vermont Production Collective and founder of
Witness Oak Productions, and Dillon Tanner, founder of the
Mothership Monthly Film Fest which features the films of many first time filmmakers.
Broadcast live on Thursday, July 30, 2026, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
