SYCAMORE – Everyone wants to make money, but many makers of small films just want their films to be seen.

“You want to make sure that people get to see it,” said Ram Goetz, a Sycamore High School graduate studying at Columbia College.

Goetz is the producer of “The October Crisis,” a 13-minute narrative short film shot in Ottawa last October. The 21-year-old filmmaker said “it’s just about two young men who come face to face with guilt over a loved one, and they have to decide if murder is the best way to solve the issue.”
