The 3rd Annual Derby City Film Festival rocked the Clifton Center this past weekend and helped to expose the work of several local and regional actors, directors and filmmakers amongst national competition.
Dozens of films in multiple categories were shown and judged throughout the three day event.

Louisville native Greg King and New Albany, Indiana filmmaker Ray Cart took honors, as well as Cincinnati’s Michael Maney, who wowed with a 24-minute film about a meth addict that cost a mere $3000 to create.
