COLUMBIA - The True/False Film Fest is set to begin Wednesday at Stephens Lake Park.Â
The fest, which is typically held in downtown Columbia in various indoor locations, has moved the films outdoors this year due to concerns over COVID-19.Â
True/False has backup plans in the event of weekend storms.Â
One of the biggest challenges organizers are facing prior to the start of the fest is setting up during the rain.
âOne of the things I have to pivot with is how is our set up going? Do we need to pause or delay because of rain?â Carly Love, operations director for Ragtag Film Society, said.
