Scott Alexander Wood has designed a the first of a wonderful series of commemorative posters for this yearly event.
It will be available as an 11x17 poster and in two larger sizes.
The largest will be sold as a limited-edition of 50 prints signed and numbered by the artist. Theses will be available both framed and unframed at the event and, later, at local art galleries and by mail.
Mr. Wood will be present at the event to sign and personalize posters.
Proceeds of the sales will benefit The Buffalo Film Festival's community activities. Buffalo International Film Festival, Inc. is a 501c3 not-for-profit charity. A portion of the sale is fully tax-deductible as allowed by law.
This event would be impossible without the cooperation of Carl Paladino and Ellicott Development Company.
