Stream or Die Updates
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Our Sunday through Wednesday programs are being postponed until the originally planned dates. At 2pm today, the stream will be offline until 6pm Thursday.
Before we jump forward, a few awesome updates. Our DIY stream and community has been going great and we’ve already raised $50 for charity. The filmmakers and fans hanging out in the stream community are connecting, having fun, and really enjoying both the films and each other! We hope you’ll join us come Thursday for the rest of the festival. You can get you secret links and codes by getting your “tickets” here!
An updated schedule for the remaining days of the festival is below:
