If you're in need of a "film fix," you're in luck!

Hobnobben Film Festival begins on Thursday, with four full days of activities that Cinema Center's Executive Director, Jonah Crismore, calls "an explosion of cinema and celebration in downtown Fort Wayne."

Independent filmmaker, Ryne Hastings is thrilled with the opportunity Hobnobben Film Festival provides to network with other directors.

  Festival goers are invited to enjoy more than 50 films in multiple venues, and attend film-centric parties, panel discussions and workshops.

For a sneak peek at the "coming attractions," WBOI's Julia Meek met with Crismore and participating independent filmmaker Ryne Hastings, of Gunslinger Motion Pictures, to learn what all is on the festival's multi-faceted marquee.
