The Whimsical Times Film Festival presents new films made by kids and for kids that are under 10 minutes in length and do not contain any reference to business of any kind. We prefer films that do not contain mustard or milk. The festival showcases comedy, animation, scary movies, action movies but nothing boring like history or math. The festival is made by youth from Wilmington, North Carolina who are taking classes at the DREAMS Center for Arts Education. This year's festival will be held at Jengo's Playhouse in downtown Wilmington.
