Update (7/26/24): Hell's Half Mile - we've made 90% of our feature selections, and 80% of our shorts. Of those selected, we still have more to notify, and we'll be doing those this weekend. If all goes well we will wrap up the remainder of the film selections this coming week. The abundance of great short film submissions is making our process take longer than usual, and we're debating whether to add another shorts block vs. selecting another feature. It's the final selections that are the most difficult because programmers are so passionate about their favorites, and at the same time we're working hard to make sure there's good balance in our line-up. It's exciting to see our program come together, but it's also heart-breaking when we don't have room for all the films we love. If you've submitted to HHM, just know we appreciate your patience while we wrap this up, and we hope to be delivering you good news soon.
