Epilogue

The highlights of this year’s fest, at least for this critic, were the Q&A and career retrospective with Bostwick, who is pictured below with Festival Director Brendon Rogers, and On the Third Step, a short thriller directed by Russian filmmaker Anastasia Norenko, who was in attendance. The film won best foreign project and best suspense/horror/thriller short.

“My goal for On the Third Step was to create a dynamic, unexpected storyline that would leave audiences wanting more,” Norenko said. “I’m thrilled that viewers at CenFlo were able to see my vision through and am honored to receive CenFlo’s recognitions, as there [were] a lot of other talented filmmakers at the festival.”
