In its seventh year, the Joedance Film Festival’s 2016 lineup consists of 14 local films. Shea Sizemore’s My Luchador (see production still above), a short film about dreams and marriage is one of many that will be screened. This festival is one of the best places to catch flicks by Charlotte-area filmmakers and it’s for a good cause. Proceeds from all ticket sales are donated to Levine Children’s Hospital and go towards rare pediatric cancer research.
