OPENING NIGHT FEATURE FILM
Opening night (Halloween) will be the Horror/Thriller film “Room Six”, made in Lake County. Filmmakers will be in attendance and will have a post screening Q & A. We will also be screening a collection of short films from filmmakers from Lake County preceding “Room Six”. This film is likely not suitable for children.
Room Six is the story of Maxx, a college student, who is working the night shift at a vacant, rundown motel before the late-night arrival of two brothers. After a few suspicious incidents, Maxx’s curiosity (or paranoia) gets the best of her, and she decides to investigate the situation. Maxx quickly finds herself in danger as she uncovers what lies hidden in the brothers’ room.
The festival will be showing about two dozen features and over 80 short films. Gorton Center is thrilled to be partnering up as one of the host venues. The full slate of films, along with the schedule, will be available in early September.
The 14th Lake County Film Festival will be held from October 31-November 3 & November 8-11.
Screenings will also be held at The College Of Lake County in Grayslake, IL,
