OK2BX Film Festival 2022

For Eleanor, a great night was sitting with a bunch of friends watching films. Folks of all sorts could come together, share the experience and find common ground in the experience. In honor of Eleanor, we are launching the OK2BX Film Festival. OK2BX*Film is dedicated to her core belief that we can come together and find more about us that is alike – rather than the things that keep us apart. There will be 4 blocks of competition. Films can be submitted to any and all of the blocks. We will pick the best of each block – and also single out a film that best exemplifies Eleanor’s Spirit of happiness and inclusion. Each OK2BX*Film winner will take home their very own ELLIE. The blocks are: 1. INCLUSIVITY: It’s better for everyone when everyone is included. The winning film will best highlight the positive depiction of inclusion. 2. LGBTQIA+: We know there are struggles every day for LGBTQ+ youth – but also know there is joy and happiness. We want your film to show this joy. 3. ANIMATION: Animation can be a thing of beauty or art – in ways that live action cannot or may not. Your animated film (drawn, rendered, or stop-action) shows us this art. 4. SMARTPHONE: Everyone has a smart phone these days. Let’s put it to use making art. Films in this group have to be shot entirely on a smartphone. Come join in the Inaugural OK2BX Film Festival. It’s a great way to start bringing everyone together.
