Thanks to everyone who participated in the first-ever KC CreepFest in Westport, especially our partners and sponsors Tivoli Cinemas, Westport Coffeehouse Theatre, McCoy’s Public House, Westport Regional Business League, Kansas City Women in Film & Television, Independent Film Coalition – Kansas City, Lights On Kansas City, and Outpost Worldwide production company in Lenexa.

Our fundraising efforts for Harvester’s Community Food Network (based on Westport Coffeehouse Theatre ticket sales, combined with a patron’s donation and the Mr. Fish band’s donation) totaled $100 plus some canned goods. At Harvester’s $1 buys 5 meals, which means we were able to raise funds for 500 meals!

Stay tuned to the KC CreepFest web site for photos and videos taken during the event (thanks to Avila Film students Jermaine, Sarah, & Thomas), and for news about KC CreepFest 2010…
