Interview: Julie Kennedy discusses the origins of the 5 Point Film Festival

Carbondale's annual 5 Point Film Festival begins on Thursday and runs through Sunday. All this week we're bringing you interviews with organizers and filmmakers involved with the festival. The name 5 Point comes from a climbing grading system, but to festival founder Julie Kennedy the five points stand for something more: Respect, Commitment, Humility, Purpose, and Balance. Kennedy told KDNK's Conrad Wilson how the festival got its start.
