WLFF is basically the unofficial Monopoly Jr. version of the Boston Underground Film Festival geared toward filmmakers who live in and around the Boston area. WLFF has a warehouse screening party every few months with open submissions. Films can be any style or genre as long as they are 10 minutes or less. This block features some favorites from over the years. Okay?
