True/False: The List

The True/False list of films is up. You can find it here. There’s a YouTube play list here. We’ll keep you up-to-date on all things T/F in the weeks leading up to the fest. I have an interview I may or may not be able to share. There’s information on True Vision and the True Life Fund on its way, plus some interviews with T/F musicians. Also, Rebecca should be posting pictures in the next week or two. It’s about to get all T/F around here! Prepare yourselves.
