Psst, there's another festival in Utah
Christian Vuissa seems to go by the "if you build it, they will come" model.

His LDS Film Festival, which launched its eighth annual edition Wednesday night, draws thousands of family-friendly movie lovers to Orem's SCERA Theatre. But the festival never advertises, or even sends a freakin' press release to the state's most-read movie critic (ahem).

"We never know how it's going to go. We don't really advertise. We hang up posters, and that's about it," Vuissa said, according to the Associated Press. "I don't know if anyone is going to show up."

Vuissa is also a filmmaker. Last year he released "The Errand of Angels," a sister-missionary drama set in Austria. His new movie, "Father in Israel," opened the festival on Wednesday.
