Aspiring actress Valentina D'Amore of Wethersfield steps from the limo onto the red carpet at 41 Bridge Street in Collinsville on her way into the Farmington Valley Film Commission's Summer Film Fete & Mixer Saturday evening, July 24. "We had over 100 people," said Stephen Emirzian of Canton, a member of the commission's advisory board. "We were only expecting 40 or 50." Several locally produced short films were screened at the event, which gave film fans from around the area a chance to do a little networking. Photo Courtesy of Farmington Valley Film Commission
