Like many arts organizations, Heartland Film had to do a quick reboot because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It got creative to present its Indy Shorts International Film Festival.

From WFYI's Arts and Culture Desk, Jill Ditmire met Heartland Film CEO Craig Prater in the parking lot of the Tibbs Drive-In for a socially-distanced conversation about where film lovers can see the festival, which runs July 21- 26.

Information for both the virtual and Tibbs screenings are available at indyshorts.org. You can see two past Indy Shorts Awards winners during a WFYI TV special on July 20 at 7:30 p.m.
