Shirley Film Fest 2024

This community film festival at the Shirley Center Meeting House in central Massachusetts is a celebration of creativity, storytelling, art and music. We are delighted that this unique venue now offers an opportunity to enjoy and support both local and international film making.

Festival Producer, Nancy Beaudette, perhaps best know as a songwriter and performing artist, is also an accredited TV show producer. “StudioX-Pose Arts and Music” a series created and produced by Nancy ran throughout Ontario, Canada for three years, winning the “Cogeco Star Award – Entertainment Show of the Year” in its inaugural season. She also co-hosted the nationally broadcast show, “In Good Faith” for two years in Ottawa, Canada, with A-Channel Media.  Nancy’s background in media production and community engagement drives her mission to connect diverse voices and audiences. Her enthusiasm for showcasing innovative work has made the festival a beloved event in the region, celebrating both emerging talent and established artists in the film industry.

Shirley Film Fest is Sponsored by

Scarecrows, Pumpkins, Smash Burgers

It takes a lot of volunteers and sponsors to run a community festival – teamwork, tenacity, trust – to build something that will bring out your friends and neighbours to celebrate the harvest time of year. Pumpkin Fest was a wonderful success, and promises to only get better year after year. From the jack’o’lantern and scarecrow contests, to face-painting and pumpkin decorating, to cider donuts and smash-burgers – this homegrown festival had something for everyone. It also had a whopping four hours of live music! Nancy Beaudette dusted off her favourite cover songs, and added brand new ones to her repertoire for the event. Thanks to everyone for being part of the festivities.
