For Eleanor, a great night was sitting with a bunch of friends watching films. Folks of all sorts could come together, share the experience and find common ground in the experience.

In honor of Eleanor, we are again hosting the OK2BX Film Festival. OK2BX*Film is dedicated to her core belief that we can come together and find more about us that is alike – rather than the things that keep us apart.

We don’t ask you to pick a category – just share your work with us. Our judges will rank each film and pick the best of each category. A film will be selected that best exemplifies Eleanor’s Spirit of happiness and inclusion. Each OK2BX*Film winner will take home their very own ELLIE..

EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT!!!! $2 before JANUARY 1ST!!!!!

Come join the OK2BX Film Festival. It’s a great way to start bringing everyone together.
