Audience feedback will be encouraged at the 12 p.m. showing.Local filmmakers Ali Azios and Marcus Brooks will also be featured. “It’s a short film of our son telling a joke except for his joke is completely unintelligible. But it’s hilarious.” they said.The day continues with the Too Short to Suck Film Festival at , featuring ultra-short films under two minutes from filmmakers of all ages. “Anyone can submit a film. It can be shot on your phone. Some children made films that were incredible,” Ennis said.The full schedule and more information are at visitcalicoon.com.
