As dusk quickly approached, it was time for the movies to begin. First up, were a couple of local short films – Claire and Joseph from Moonrise Productions and then the Stittsville famous Stittsville on Patrol’s ‘The Tourist Trap’, starring Simon Bauche (aka Brian Milks), from Distant Red Pictures.
