The night will include a screening of the winning film, a festive reception and a raffle drawing. The biennial Christopher Wetzel Memorial Award for Independent Film Comedy is made possible through the generosity of family and friends of Chris Wetzel, and honors the memory of a promising young filmmaker whose untimely death cut short a career dedicated to creative discovery in the film medium. The award is meant to nurture films created in a similar way. Ox -Bow hosts its annual Summer Benefit in Saugatuck, Michigan. The evening is presented by the Ox-Bow Auxiliary Board, led by event chair Roger Arbury.
Limited tickets are available, and the past two years have been a sell-out success.
