Rising Filmmakers: A Full Day of Short Films
Oct 11, 2025 - Oct 11, 2025

Get ready to experience an extraordinary lineup of creative and provocative student and short films! The Chesapeake Film Festival (“CFF”) and the Academy Art Museum in downtown Easton are partnering to present a full day of compelling films on Saturday, October 11, from 10 AM to 5:30 PM as part of CFF’s exciting 18th season. This is a unique opportunity to dive into films including the sharp-witted Just Be Awesome from the UK, a tale of midlife desperation in a world of corporate absurdity; Punks, a raw, intimate look into a Houston punk scene through the eyes of a searching teen; and Memory Project, a haunting exploration of human psychology based on real events. You’ll also discover the poetic beauty of music through silence in the student short Listen With Your Eyes, and cap off the day with the riveting feature Westhampton, where buried secrets and cinematic truth collide in a haunting tale of reckoning and redemption. Don’t miss this showcase of bold storytelling and fresh voices. Tickets available now at chesapeakefilmfestival.comor at the door!
