The Borrego Springs Film Festival – an all-volunteer production of The Borrego Festivals Foundation in cooperation with the Borrego Springs Chamber of Commerce – provides a “forum to present and discuss independent films and educate film enthusiasts, especially young people, about the artistic, business, and creative processes of independent filmmaking.”
We’re pleased to announce that DAUGHTER, a short film written by Jo Harper, and directed by Athena Mandis, will be screened during this year’s festivities, which are being held from January 12 to 16. In this riveting story, you’ll witness the emotional roller coaster experienced by our protagonist -- masterfully played by Lynne-Anne Rodgers -- as she meets her birth mother, and stepsister, for the very first time.
