August 17th was a night that certainly rocked the socks of many-a-local in Kingston. Friends and family united at the Beal House for an amazing gathering of artistic talent. This was without a doubt the best Flim Fest yet.


The event ran from 4 until 1am. That's nine hours folks. The Side Street Bandits opened the day with a great set that got everyone skanking up a storm, celebrating the sound of the Pembroke native ska band.

 

Here's TJ O'brien's amazing Flim Fest 08 sign- multicolored and spray painted on the original projection screen. It was eventually deemed too cheap to be used (there was a big line going through the middle of it).

A surprise performance of "Pretty Woman" hit right before the movie screening, featuring Anthony Geehan, Steve Bailey, Kevin James, Ryan Murphy, Neil Cicierega, and Cory Waldron.  Check it out here.


I'll be honest with you- there are far to many pictures to post on this one page. Check the links below for full galleries from Mass's finest photographers, and take a look at some of the videos that made their way to the internet.

"...Not a Tad Bad Flim Co., which is living proof that rearranging
life’s spelling and meaning delivers a certain punch on the screen.."
