THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
We had a fantastic weekend. It was really amazing to finally see all the films together. The program was impressive, entertaining, and a good mix of styles, genres, and mediums. Thank you to all the filmmakers who’s work was showcased, The Gadabout has been out to prove that DIY/Low Budget filmmaking DOES NOT mean lack of quality, and you all further proved that. Thanks also to everyone who came out to the festival. It felt really great to share the weekend with you.
Keep an eye out for tour dates, and upcoming screenings!

MAXIMUM SUMMER, The Bepstein Documentary
Centered on the philosophies and hardships of Ben Epstein (AKA Bepstein), bassist of the DC pop- punk band The Max Levine Ensemble. He’s determinedly committed to keeping the same priorities he had when he was 14, even through he’s now 27. These include eating pizza and ice cream, playing kickball, riding roller coasters, and staying up all night. (Rose Haag, Washington, DC)
