Lower budget than low-budget


The El Camino College's Marsee Auditorium will be taking "indie" to the next level by hosting South Bay's second annual "anti-festival" on Nov. 1.

Created by Sameer and Ricky Bhavnani, two brothers whose film was previously rejected byseveral local film festivals, the student-friendly film fest is the voice of the common filmmaker. Film submissions are free of charge and a $1,000 prize will be given to the most voted film or to the filmmaker who brings the most viewers.

The goal is to give all submitted films a chance of screen time. Films not screened in its entirety will be promoted via ten-second clips and a link to the whole film online. Though the festival's target audience is college and high school students, this one-day event is open to all.

Pre-sale tickets are available at the El Camino box office for $6 and $10 at the door. Tickets
may also be purchased online or over the phone. For more information, visit the official website.

Film submissions are still being accepted. However, a $5 late submission fee will be charged.
