This past August, @Barnhouse under Lee Thompson, Sommer Montenegro

and crew, put together an absolutely STELLAR animation festival in PA and MI. WE HAVE BIG PLANS IN STORE FOR THIS YEAR SO KEEP READING AHEAD FOR PRIZES AND A POTENTIAL EXPANDED VENUE. For those not aware, see my original announcement post for this last year's event plus some news posts / recaps from users like LeviRamirez (PA & MI) , Ash1car (MI) , DeuceLeGoose (PA), CaptainStevie (PA) , and ModernYasha (PA) . The picture below shows only the NG attendees, and not the huge amount of others that attended from within the animation community.

Lee and team are asking those who are interested in the upcoming event (DATE TBA), especially those who attended any of the past SSFs either in PA or MI, to fill out the following survey gauging interest in attendance and venue.

TAKE THE FEEDBACK SURVEY HERE!

IF YOU FILL OUT ANYTHING IN THE SURVEY AND SUBMIT YOU WILL BE ENTERED INTO A RAFFLE FOR A FREE PRIZE (Fest Merch, Rare VHS, etc.)

What's potentially changing? The core value of the event stays in line with what it's always been: community. That's why we're asking all of you about your opinions on what you've experienced thus far, and what you hope to experience in the future. But, there is one big potential change...

PENNSYLVANIA DRIVE-IN THEATER VENUE

Location potentially @ Shankwiler's Drive-in Theater in Orefield, PA with camping overnight possibilities

America's Oldest Drive-In Theater

We want to see if those who've attending prior or those hoping to come this year would be interested in attending at a Drive-In Theater, with the opportunity to camp overnight. More details will follow in the coming months, but it would be GREATLY appreciated if you could fill out the form above with as much detail as possible. Note: You will only be prompted questions regarding the PA Drive-In if you answer with 1-5 or Other for attendance at PA.

This is only a fraction of overall attendance.
