Look At Us, Yuba-Sutter

Yuba Sutter Arts & Culture is pleased to announce the first ever, short film festival focusing on Yuba and Sutter counties. Titled “Look at Us, Yuba-Sutter,” the festival will feature films that are 13 minutes or less in length and that have all been created locally. So why a film festival? The cinematic arts have become more and more accessible for everyone over the years as the technology is readily available to anyone who wants to tell a story using this artistic medium. The short film format seemed like an ideal way to create a program by providing a prompt for local amateur or professional filmmakers to demonstrate their cinematic visions and then be recognized at a public event. The brainchild of City of Yuba City Councilman, Shon Harris, the idea is to focus on our community and channel the collective creativity of our residents. “I really wanted to offer a challenge to local creative folks to come up with a cinematic way to document what makes our area so special like the people, places, events and our history,” said Shon. “Fully acted or documentary films and even way-out-there animated films are welcome, as long as they are family friendly,” he added.
