Oxford Film Festival 2022’s Closing Night Red Carpet featuring A LOVE SONG and some filmmaker moms

The Oxford Film Festival‘s second red carpet featured Max Walker-Silverman’s festival hit A LOVE SONG. The director and Rising Star Award honoree was joined by two members of the film’s cast – star Dale Dickey, who was given the Breakthrough Award, and Marty Grace Dennis. There was also a reunion of the Sound Unseen film festival and the filmmakers from BEING BEBE, who had a huge screening there last Fall, and some filmmaker moms and family members on hand to see their filmmaker kids enjoy a socially distanced red carpet rock star moment.
