Nov. 30, 2011 - PRLog -- Appleton, Wis. - The 2012 Wildwood Film Festival, scheduled for Saturday March 3, is now accepting film entries.

The Appleton-based festival celebrating its 11th year has grown into a nationally recognized event in the film community. The Wildwood Film Festival, however, remains true to its Wisconsin roots—all films must have direct ties to the state of Wisconsin.
