This weekend is a big deal for Springfield movie lovers as the Queen City of the Ozarks is home for the inaugural Show-Me Missouri International Film Festival. It is an especially exciting time for me as one of the 15-minute short films (“Billy”) stars my 10-year-old cousin, Evan Sanders, from Branson. His older brother, Austin, 15, plays a small role in the film as well.
The Sanders’ family is very involved in entertainment. The boys’ father, Terry Sanders, is a long time comedian in Branson and was voted as Branson’s Comedian of the Year this year.

Kathy and I are very excited for him and we are going to see it on Saturday. He and his family are coming up too, so we will make a whole day of it. It’s especially exciting as he hasn’t seen the film yet.
The entire film festival will start on Friday and go until Sunday. The films will show at various places including MSU, The Moxie (Springfield’s new independent movie theatre), Drury University, and the Creamery Arts Center. There are several different categories for film: college, documentary, feature, animation and short. There will also be some non-competitive films shown.
For information on tickets, visit go to the Show-Me Missouri International Film Festival web site or call 725-8297. According to the article in Sunday’s Springfield News-Leader, a person may purchase several different types of tickets, ranging from a weekend long pass, a daily pass, or a single screening ticket.
