For as long as I can remember, movies have always been a part of my life. I have used them as a social activity, family time, date night and even time to relax by myself. I enjoy all types of movies, romance, horror but “feel-good” movies are my favorites!

The Inspire Film Festival is unique and young (only in its third year), and it has already grown to be much more than most imagined it would. The goal of Inspire is to entertain and inspire you, and I can attest that it does just that! After an afternoon of watching trailers of each film, I can say I definitely have a change in attitude and outlook on life.

With 13 full-length feature films and 18 short films being shown over this five-day cinematic experience, it can be hard to know where to start and which films will be on your “must watch” list. I’ve gone over the schedule myself (several times), and these nine films are definitely on my watch list!

Short in length, but not short on thought, these short films are a must watch and will keep you thinking long after they are over.

For films that “hit you in the feels”, and really get you to thinking about life, plan to watch these feature-length films!
