Local Filmmaker Award

Since 2004, ImageOut has been showcasing the talents of local filmmakers as part of the Flower City Flicks Program during our annual film festival. In 2008, we launched a new award in honor of Mary Elizabeth Knight. Mary was a long-time supporter of ImageOut and fan of Flower City Flicks. After conversations with her husband Clem, a loyal ImageOut supporter himself, the Mary Elizabeth Knight Flower City Flicks Fund was created to support the cash award. ImageOut is grateful to these individuals and for the years of assistance provided by Clem and Mary Elizabeth Knight. We are pleased to offer this award as a tribute to Mary Elizabeth. Please consider making a contribution to the Fund in her memory.

This award is selected by vote of Programming Committee members to qualifying local filmmakers.
