Ashland Film Fest Fills The Screens Again

Films long and short and funny and sad will fill screens and eyeballs when the Ashland Independent Film Festival returns to the city's two movie theaters this week (April 6-10). 

And it's not just about the movies, but the movie makers, too... like James Ivory (as in Merchant Ivory Productions), who is a Klamath Falls native. 

What does it take to pull together all the films and all the filmmakers for the five-day blitz?  Program Director Richard Herskowitz, who is now also AIFF's Executive Director, takes a few moments out of a busy week to tell us.
