Dr. Jamee Kennedy, Executive Director of The Attic Film Festival, said, “The films featured at the 2014 Attic Film Festival are some of the most well-done, quality-driven, inspirational films that we have received in the history of the festival. And we’ve had a very difficult time selecting the 28 films we’re showing, out of hundreds that we’ve received this year. The audiences will be very pleased; it’s something that not only Austin Christians should not miss, but film enthusiasts as well. Kennedy continues, “from films about Austin, Texas Reagan High School Football team (Where We Belong), to Jeremy Lin pro-basket ball player (Linsanity) to popular Christian band, Switchfoot (Fading West), audiences will surely connect with these characters and leave with a great message.”
