The 2021 North Bend Film Festival is jam packed filled with feature films and short films as well as both virtual an in person experiences so there's no shortage of quality entertainment for anyone to enjoy. The festival includes a selection of films that are in competition for various awards and the organizers asked me to be on the jury for the Stranger Than Fiction category which for me is quite the honor. See below for a few thoughts on each of the six films that are part of the competition.

TwoOhSix Picks - 2021 North Bend Film Festival
The
North Bend Film Festival
is back after a one year pandemic induced hiatus and the 2021 edition has got
a full lineup of programming both virtual and in person. This hybrid format
has been the norm for most festivals this year and the fine folks who are in
charge of these particular proceedings have gone all out in maintaining the
fun and quirky vibe the festival is known for. See below for my election of
films you do not want to miss out on during the festival's run.
