Richard Roeper inspires young filmmakers in Missouri

But for a group of Missouri filmmakers, no such stunts were necessary. Last night at the Missouri Theatre Center for the Arts, Chicago Sun-Times columnist and film critic Richard Roeper hosted the Silverscreen Film Festival awards. Roeper was generous with his praise of the 13 short films he viewed, saying some were better than the ones he watches for a living.
