Winners announced in ReelPeachFest film festival

PENTICTON – The third annual ReelPeachFest film festival concluded Sunday night with the final day of Peach Fest 2017.

Producer Andrew Jakubeit says the festival had room for 30 submissions this year, receiving entries that were more creative and less promotional than in the past, a goal the festival was moving towards.

“The films made people laugh, smile and exposed them to experiences that they might never know existed,” he says.
