Meatheads Food Truck will serve attendees on the south end of the Mill, and host a Beer Garden in the Outdoor Plaza.
Stay for the Awards Ceremony and afterparty where The Lake Stevens Community Band will play a selection of iconic movie soundtracks. Since their inception in summer of 2021 the band has been a staple at local events.
TEAM
Laura Bettelheim
Festival Organizer
Laura Bettelheim brings varied experience as a filmmaker as well as a SAG-AFTRA actor and New York trained actor/improvisor. She attended film school in San Francisco and then moved to New York City where she and her husband lived for six years before returning to her hometown of Lake Stevens in April 2020.
Whether she is crewing on an indie, producing a corporate shoot or web series, or working with masters like Spielberg as a featured extra, Laura is happiest when on set or in a room full of writers.
While a student at Lake Stevens High School, she was part of the club that organized the school's first "Viking Film Festival." Now, in the city where she first fell in love with film, she is helping connect other film-lovers in the local community and broader Pacific Northwest. She is currently in pre-production on a feature length documentary.
Behind the scenes of this festival is a host of additional volunteers. Graphic designers, photographers, event planners, greeters --each one of them is a community member who couldn't quite sit this one out. We thank each one of you.
