"This film festival is unique in a sense where we have 80 films, we actually are able to get every single genre of film making included inside this film festival. So if you're not into horror, we have comedy. If you're not into action, we have romance. We have it all for any audience member," said Tony Martinez, co-founder and production supervisor.
The event is being held at the Mauch Chunk Opera House.
