Have you ever wondered...What's the deal with film festival programmers? What do they really think about your film? How do they make their decisions? And how can you improve your own film's odds of being picked? Why your film gets picked depends on a complex set of reasons, And it comes down to a single fact: film festivals, and programmers, aren't necessarily what you think! Jon Gann, founder of the DC Shorts Film Festival, questions his peers about their selection process, reactions to filmmaker behavior, industry concerns, and ultimately, how they create a festival experience that enriches both filmmakers and the audience.

Young heroes risk their lives—daring to expose the secrets and corruption behind agribusiness… After losing her best friends, Bray Hoffman remains hidden on an undisclosed Wyoming farm—where her unexplained gift of hearing animals in distress resurfaces. Rhea, among several cows, achieves human-like awareness after genetic experimentation—and cries out for help. The animals are imprisoned in a secret S-Corp laboratory, and impossible to save. Bray joins forces with friends old and new—along with Bertan, who also wants to dismantle the corporation. The goal: expose the secrets of S-Corp and force citizens to experience the horrors of animal agriculture via Embedicare multi-sensory implants.

Sentient Rising is the second book in a new eco-dystopian series that follows Bray, Bertan and others through this thrilling novel by Jay VanLandingham. Get ready for even more action, more adventure, more suspense. Rise up—For truth. For life. For the Future.
