Okanagan filmmakers celebrated at Okanagan Screen Awards

The Okanagan Society of Independent Filmmaking is rolling out the red carpet for the second annual Okanagan Screen Awards.

“The Okanagan Screen Awards is a vital part of the Okanagan film community,” said O.S.I.F. president. “I think that the Okanagan is second to none for our film community. Honestly, it’s like a family it’s a community. Everyone is so talented.”

The awards return with a full day of screenings followed by the presentations on March 2.

“We have 77 local films that will be showing on duelling screens throughout the whole day,” said McEvoy. “What it does is it celebrates our independent filmmakers, but it also showcases to our community, the immense talent that we have here,”
