The Standard talks with festival founder, Waukon’s Katie O’Regan, about the festival and her film premiere
by Julie Berg-Raymond
Sacred Noise Society, Inc. announces the Star City Film Festival, scheduled for July 15-17 at the historic Town Theater on Main Street in downtown Waukon. This is a coming-home for both the film festival and its founder, Katie O’Regan, of Waukon - a long-time actress, producer, director, and founder of Sacred Noise Society, Inc.
O’Regan initiated what was then called the Spring Grove International Film Festival in Spring Grove, MN in 2020. The festival featured an independent film called “Senior Entourage,” directed by L.A.-based artist Brian Connors. One of the stars of that film was multiple award-winning actor, the late Ed Asner - who came to Spring Grove as the inaugural film festival’s guest of honor.
