The local filmmaking scene has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decade, and Running Wild Films seems to be leading the current charge forward. The latest edition of the filmmaking outfit’s FPS: Filmmakers of Phoenix Showcase shines bright this Friday, September 26.
Running Wild Films might be best known for its Herculean effort last year to churn out 52 short films in the 52 weeks of 2013. RWF hasn’t slowed down this year; the monthly FPS series places the spotlight on the collective’s efforts and collaborations. Friday will see a half-dozen shorts featured including Escort Driver: Dead End from Running Wild head honcho Travis Mills, Cinders in the Dark, the first filmmaking effort for Running Wild Films and 5J Media by actor-turned-director Mia Moss, and Deserted, RWF’s submission for the recently revived Project Greenlight on HBO. This is all while pre-production work continues on Durant’s Never Closes.
FPS: Filmmakers of Phoenix Showcase is at The Hive, 2222 North 16th Street. The showcase begins at 8 p.m., and admission is $5. For more information, visit www.runningwildfilms.com.
