In its inaugural year, he received 50 submissions some in Betamax, VHS, and DV tape and chose around thirty to edit by hand onto a single reel. The event was a success, and grew into a regional hit that put Morgan Hill on the film industry map.
But the financial crisis of 2008 struck a blow to the festival. Then in 2010, they entered a dispute over their original venue in Morgan Hill, only to be kicked out later when the theater changed ownership. The team then bounced around different venues, including high schools and colleges.
