#nxtfstFILM celebrates young emerging filmmakers from the Edmonton area. These films were created on small to zero budgets, without any support from professional studios. From the ethereal to the episodic, the funny to the fan-film, we’ve got it all. #nxtfstFILM is a co-production between Nextfest and (the incredibly awesome) Metro Cinema.filmfest@nextfest
