TriggerStreet.com is proud to be once again be part of the fourth annual Orinda Film Festival. This year's festival takes place from September 22-25 in Northern California. We'll be showing a selection of shorts from the Second Season of our online Short Film Festival in a special TriggerStreet.com screening. We are looking forward to yet another opportunity to take great short films from the computer screen to the big screen, and bring them even more exposure.

The Orinda Film Festival supports films from around the world that inspire, educate, challenge, entertain and even provoke audiences to explore other viewpoints and forms of expression.

The festival's Executive Director Randy Holleschau says, "We are extremely supportive of emerging filmmakers as evidenced by our past programming. TriggerStreet.com's screening in 2004 was so successful we just had to have them back this year."
