Denver’s Favorite Film Festival Now Accepting Submissions
[ad_1]
Following on from the success of the 2023 festival, DSFF2025 is set to once again feature a wide selection of ground-breaking short films from local, national and international filmmakers. The festival accepts all kinds of short films, including animation, comedy, drama, documentaries, music videos and experimental films.
Gio Toninelo (DSFF’s Artistic Director) said: “Despite the challenges we all faced during the pandemic, I was thrilled to see so many artists and filmmakers find a way to continue with their work and create so many fantastic films under dire circumstances. We took a chance hosting our last festival in person, and we were really supported by our audience who all came in huge numbers. With life going back to normal, we are hoping to put on a blended festival in 2025, mixing live events and screenings, offering the best of both worlds to our audience and filmmakers.”
Filmmakers can submit any short films lasting less than 20 minutes to the festival via the FilmFreeway platform, with submission fees starting at $15 before the early bird deadline on March 4 2024. The extended deadline for submissions will be on December 16 2024, with full details about fees and rules available here: https://denvershortfilmfestival.com
The festival has also announced the official date for the next installment of the festival: February 20 2025. Once again, the festival will be held at the historical Mayan Theatre, a beacon for indie films in Denver, located along the bustling Denver’s South Broadway corridor.

Sonoma County Memoir “My Wine Country” Recounts Author Victor Sanchez Jr.’s Path Through Hardship
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Victor Sanchez Jr. has published a memoir, "My Wine Country," drawing on his own upbringing in Sonoma County to describe a childhood marked by hardship and what the author describes as an eventual path toward stability. The book is out now through Page Publishing, available in bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple iTunes, Google Play, and Barnes and Noble.
According to the announcement, the book traces Sanchez’s life from adolescence, when he began facing what the publisher describes as life’s most demanding challenges, through his later experience as a cancer survivor. Both periods, the announcement states, inform the book’s reflections on survival and endurance.
The publisher describes "My Wine Country" as both a personal memoir and a broader meditation on resilience, built around themes of loss, perseverance, and what the announcement calls the quiet joys that sustain people through difficult periods. Sanchez frames the project in personal terms. "This book represents my truth," he said in the announcement. "I wanted to share my story not just as a survivor, but as someone who learned that pain and joy are inseparable parts of what makes us human."
The setting is a specific one: Sonoma County, part of California’s wine country, a region more commonly associated in print with travel writing and vineyard guides than with memoirs of adolescent hardship. That contrast, between the postcard image of the region and the account Sanchez describes living through there, is part of what the book is positioned around.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see how Sanchez’s account of place complicates the wine country’s usual story.

Brooklyn Prosecutor Turned Civil Attorney Publishes Memoir on Rising from Poverty in Jacksonville
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Rudolph Silas, Esq. has published "Fate Smiled on the Misbegotten: An Autobiographical Novel," a memoir tracing his path from a childhood in Jacksonville, Florida, marked by poverty to a career as an attorney in New York. Studio CarryOnHarry received the announcement from Page Publishing, which released the book this month.
According to the book’s own description, the memoir recounts the story of a poor Black child born out of wedlock with few options, and how perseverance, fortunate circumstances, and unexpected kindness from others transformed what began as limited prospects into a life of achievement. The announcement frames the book as both a personal account and a broader reflection on class, race, and what remains possible in America despite systemic obstacles.
Silas’s legal career forms a throughline for the book, according to the announcement. After establishing himself as a prosecutor in Brooklyn, he subsequently defended New York City agencies and everyday citizens in civil matters, securing what the announcement describes as numerous seven-figure verdicts and settlements.
"What began as a series of disadvantages became the foundation for a life I could never have imagined," Silas said in the announcement. "I wrote this book to show others facing similar circumstances that their current situation does not determine their destiny."
"Fate Smiled on the Misbegotten" is available through Page Publishing, as well as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and Google Play.
Studio CarryOnHarry is always interested in how professionals outside publishing translate hard-won expertise, legal, medical, or otherwise, into memoir, and this one fits that pattern worth watching.
