"In 2009, Filmstock was founded to bring a voice to short filmmakers, and to put their visions on the screen. Over the years it has come to celebrate the beauty and artistic freedom found in the short film format, and the creativity that can exist therein, and has attracted a supportive community of filmmakers and audience members alike. Now, in 2013, Filmstock will continue its mission by connecting filmmakers with audience members from the American Southwest, playing award-winning films in the four states of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah!〔http://www.filmstockfilmfestival.com〕"
