In this specific occasion I’m supporting these two amazing Brazilian filmmakers like Rodrigo Zan and Leco Moura and I just stepped out the theater from seeing their film and I’m super amped,” Grey’s Anatomy star Stefania Spampinato shares. The Brazilian pair debuted their film, Up North.

Throughout the jam-packed day attendees of the film festival were also able to enjoy an interactive panel with mega talent Jackson Spidell who is not only a stuntman but also the leading stunt coordinator in the movie industry. Spidell was joined by award winning actress Katherine McNamara known for her action roles in Shadow Hunter, Arrow, Maze Runner, and others.

Of course, all things film were at the center of attention during the 4th annual Mammoth Film Festival, however there was also another highly discussed topic and that was the increasingly popular NFT. Film festival sponsor Think: NFT headed by CEO Scott Page of Pink Floyd was in attendance and if you still are unsure of what an NFT is, Page explains “they represent freedom, seriously, because it allows to create a transaction between wallet to wallet, person to person, no middleman. Everything will be NFT.” After a full day of panels, screenings, and premieres guests exited the Minaret Cinemas and regathered at Lakanuki located in The Village to celebrate a successful day two.
