SUMMARY:Wolf Tree Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:In its 8th year\, Wolf Tree Film Festival features standout short films and talented filmmakers from across the Great Lakes Region. Enjoy an evening of fascinating short films–including comedies\, dramas\, documentaries\, and everything in between! This year\, the festival will also include Michigan Music Video Awards categories. \nWhy “Wolf Tree?” According to legend\, the Wolf Tree was a lone\, prominent tree that once stood in the middle of Marshall. The first settlers in the area sought refuge in the heights of the tree as wolves and bears roamed the dirt lane and forest that would one day become the city’s downtown. Later\, a platform was built in the large oak’s branches where it is said a sentry\, seeking the faint glow of wolves’ eyes\, would hunt\, eager to protect the village from threats hidden in the darkness below. It is a wild history\, a bold story\, and a great homage to the films that will be featured at this exciting annual event.
