Teams of filmmakers took to the streets of Phoenix to craft short flicks in just 48 hours, and now the time has come to find out which one is the best of the fest. Welcome Diner’s second film festival will screen all of the movies on Thursday, August 14, when winners will be announced.

With a panel of local judges selected from Roosevelt Row businesses and organizations, picking the winner will likely be quite the task, as last year’s event had an impressive line-up of odd and entirely one-of-a-kind three-minute films all featuring the same line of dialogue, prop, and genre. This year, the event's turnout and participation is expected to be bigger than before.

You can see who takes home the grand prize on August 14 at Welcome Diner, 924 East Roosevelt Street. The event is free to attend and will kick off at 8:30 p.m. on both nights. Visit www.facebook.com/welcomediner or call 602-495-1111.

Wed., Aug. 13, 8:30 p.m.; Thu., Aug. 14, 8:30 p.m., 2014
