The TCIFAM team is in high spirits with the festival being only ONE DAY away. And we hope that you are, too!

To help celebrate our 20th Film Festival, we will be giving away TWENTY (20) Opening Night Passes to the first 20 people who email us at [email protected].
The pass will be for you plus one (1) guest. Watch the movie with a loved one or a friend!

Join us on Sept. 24th, for the Opening Night Festivities and Opening Night Film “Eugene O’Neill’s The First man”

Director and Producer Hardeep Giani explains his vision:

'Eugene O’neill’s incredible script was a pleasure to make into a feature film.

What we wanted to do was to make this independent film for a modern audience – to produce a story examining the conflict of love in an environment of social and family prejudice, and how a bereavement can inflict psychosis in a grieving father.

See you at the Festival!
