The inaugural Weengushk International Film Festival is now “in the can,” having brought together an “A” list of films created in both established production houses working with budgets in the millions of dollars and through the budding talents of young artists operating on a shoestring and a diet consisting largely of pizza and caffeine. The mix was a popular success with those who are veterans in treading the red carpet into a gala award ceremony and those who were just lucky enough to have scored seats in the audience.
