Sandestin, Fla. (September 21, 2004) – The 3rd Annual Baytowne Film Festival, DRIVEN: A Perpetual State of Being, originally slated for September 24-26, 2004, has been rescheduled and will now take place October 8-10, 2004, at The Village of Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

In addition, the Baytowne Film Festival organizers have announced that all proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund to assist those individuals and families who were directly affected by Hurricane Ivan.

“We felt it was important to use the festival as an instrument to aid those who have been touched by this storm,” said Adam Shiland, founder/festival director of the Baytowne Film Festival. “While our community was affected by the hurricane, it is our goal to not only improve awareness of independent film, but now, more importantly, to raise funds for those who have had their lives changed forever.”
