A short film featuring local talent shot right here in Vernon will receive a bit of red carpet treatment this month. 

Filmmaker, Matt McDowell's "Freezer Burn" will debut at the Vernon Towne Cinema on Dec. 17.

The story revolves around a lasting family feud, a competitive sporting event and forbidden love.  

"It's literally making a long story short," stated McDowell.

Along with the Hollywood Spotlight Film Collective, McDowell mentored the crew through a very complex process. 

"Take after Take, at various locations throughout Vernon, challenged the filmmakers' skills and tested the limits of group dynamics."

"Freezer Burn" will debut at the Vernon Towne Cinema on Dec. 17 at 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m.  

This short film will be screened before the main feature, "Colette."
