Imagine a weekend of films where creativity is based on the filmmaker's perception or knowledge or imagination of the past & future.
Period films set in the days and times of prehistorics, ancient tribal, biblical, medieval, victorian, colonial, wild west, & all decades of the 20th century from 1900's-1990's to as far in the future that you can imagine. This is what the Time Pie Film Event is all about.
Time Pie Film Event is the only film event in the world that is exclusive to period films of past and distant future. Encouragement of fans, filmmakers, and cast attending in period garb is welcome.
