SHEBOYGAN – The Sheboygan Film Festival is set to debut Oct. 2-5 with Jake’s, a Lakeland University facility, serving as the central hub, according to a community announcement.
Jake’s will act as the main box office and host several events during the festival, including a screening by Healthy Sheboygan County’s Positive Mental Health Action Team, a panel on state production incentives, a Saturday night afterparty and a Sunday morning award ceremony.
“Having LUCIE involved in the inaugural Sheboygan Film Festival is a huge win for our committee, and it will add so much to filmmakers and attendees who come to Sheboygan,” Beah Travis, founder and executive director of Belladonna Film Project and chair of the SFF Committee, said in the announcement. “We’re very proud to be working with the team at Jake’s.”

The facility will also host the committee’s production office in the week leading up to the event.
“We’re excited to be part of the festival for two reasons,” Andrea Covey, operations manager for Jake’s, said in the announcement. “First, our community thrives on the creative arts, and that innovative spirit is core to what we do. Second, filmmaking is an entrepreneurial endeavor, though people don’t always think of it that way. This event ties in well with LUCIE’s mission of helping entrepreneurs build themselves up and create new things.”
