Sure, Ann Arbor’s got a rich tradition of film, with the annual Festival bringing in cineastes from throughout the globe. But Ypsilanti is more than deserving of a place at that table. Witness the depth of local filmmaking talent at the Ypsi 24 Hour Film Shootout, which asks ambitious artists to come up with an original film in the course of a day. The filmmakers — who’ve already been selected — show up on Friday, October 5, where they’re told a list of elements that have to be included in their work. Cameras and laptops get fired up, and twenty-four hours later, they turn in a finished film. Don’t miss the chance to see the best entries at the Sunday, October 7 screening.
$5. 7pm Sunday screening at Riverside Arts Center at 76 N. Huron St., Ypsilanti. www.ypsi24hourfilm.com
