What a Wonderful Fest!

Thank You, Thank You

The 2007 Black Earth Film Festival was more successful and more fun than we'd possibly hoped it would be - and we have to thank our wonderful Fest Guests and our fabulous Fest-goers for making it so!

Attendance was great at all three of our venues this year, from the Blue Moon Drive-In to the Orpheum Theatre to the Carl Sandburg Birthplace. A big thank you to Fludder for their rockin' performance at the Drive-In (shades of the Beatles rooftop concert!) - they really kicked off the Fest with amazing energy.

Thanks to the owners and staff of the Blue Moon, the staff of the Orpheum and the great people at the Carl Sandburg Birthplace, who especially went above and beyond in helping us set-up and tear-down for our "Picnic With the Stars." We really appreciate your help and support.
