Doorpost is About More Than Money
The Doorpost Film Project truly is unique in the world of short film festivals. It receives hundreds of submissions, and from those selects 10 finalists.

McCorkle, whose short film The Rift made it to the top 10, took the time to answer some of MovieMaker’s questions about his film and the festival.
