BIFF 2017: Meet the Filmmakers

The Class of ’17 Hits a Highwater Mark for Diversity and Talent

By Mark Shaffer

“If my film makes one more person miserable, I’ve done my job.” – Woody Allen

It’s a Lowcountry Weekly film festival traditon to reach out to a group of attending filmmakers, get the story behind their films and find out why the Beaufort International Film Festival is such a draw. It’s also a pretty good way to take the pulse of the fest before a single frame of film hits the screen. The class of 2017 may be the most diverse so far. They’re represented here by a half dozen filmmakers, all of whom will personally present the South Carolina premier of their work at BIFF.
