On September 29-30, 2023, if you’re in the Clarksburg, West Virginia area, join us at Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center for “two days and two nights of films, education, and networking,” offered by the MTN CRAFT FILM FESTIVAL (MCFF).▫️
For its premier year, the event’s organizers decided that all the selected films must have been made in Appalachia, by Appalachian filmmakers/crew, or have subject matter related to the Appalachian region.
▫️
Among the projects selected to screen, you’ll find MANUFACTURED LUCK, a short film written and directed by Kevin Keck, an East Tennessee-based creative, who set out to “blend traditional Appalachian storytelling with film.”
▫️
In this story, we’re introduced to a young girl’s grandad, who has an affinity for contests, church raffles, and all things sweepstakes. And we follow the exploits of “two introverts from vastly different generations trying to bond.” It’s an inspirational message about love and family.

Our sincerest thanks not only to everyone at MCFF, but to our hardworking team of Appalachia-based creatives on the selection.
