VIDEO:  The Big Picture
 
 
With a world full of services like netflicks, youtube and myspace who needs to go to the theater to watch movies. Well the founder and director of the Santa Cruz Film Festival believes that people should watch films on the big screen surrounded by community members. She also believes that young filmmakers should be honored along with their adult peers. That is why since the inspection of the SCFF youth films have always been a valuable part of their programming.
