Inaugural Eagle Cap Film Festival runs Nov. 5-7 in Enterprise

ENTERPRISE — In a small town tucked into the foothills of mountains in the northeast corner of Oregon, a lightbulb sparked above two heads. Zach Halpern and Cody Sheehy didn’t know each other well when they realized they had the same dream. The pair of Wallowa County locals both wanted to bring a film festival to town. Enterprise and Joseph, in particular, have a vibrant arts scene, Halpern said, but there was a gap he’d noticed in the film format. “The community here is just so awesome and they care so much about art,” he said. “And there’s so many different forms of art represented here, but film felt like one of the art forms that was lacking.” Eight months later, that spark of an idea is about to become a reality for the co-founders, as the inaugural Eagle Cap Film Festival is set to run Nov. 5-7. For three days, across two screens, nine films will run for audiences in Enterprise.
