Monthly Green Drinks Meets Cinema Verde Sponsors Team of Cinema Verde major sponsors
Here are some of the awards and trophies distributed for Cinema Verde former festivals. Thanks to the efforts of sculptor John Patterson, more than a dozen local artists were gracious enough to donate a work of art to Cinema Verde to use as trophies. Each trophy is unique and reflects the artist's personal style. Cinema Verde 2014 |2
