3rd Annual DITR Film Festival - Sponsored by Diamond in the Rough (DITR) Organized by independent film production company Diamond in the Rough Films, our 3rd annual film festival wants to highlight the TRULY independent film. Even if it is "rough around the edges" or just plain out there. The filmmakers who scrape and sweat to put a good movie together against all odds. We want films that take risks, not hollow 4K mirages. If the names Cassavettes, Araki and Korine mean anything to you (and if they don't, then you should look them up on imdb immediately), then we might be the festival you're looking for.
