THE FILMS AND SCREENPLAYS CONTAINED WITHIN THE FOLLOWING PAGES REPRESENT THE PASSIONS, SWEAT, TEARS, AND DREAMS OF LITERALLY THOU- SANDS OF ARTISTS, EACH HAVING CREATED UNIQUE STORIES, WORLDS, AND VISIONS THAT YOU WILL FIND TO BE UNFORGETTABLE. THEIR FILMS WILL CHILL AND THRILL YOU, MAKE YOU LAUGH OUT LOUD, OR EVEN CRY. HOWEV- ER, THESE ARTISTS ARE NOT “JUST” FILMMAKERS. THEY ARE SORCERERS. FOR THEM, MAGIC IS REAL. THE IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE. THEIR DREAMS ARE REALITIES, AND FOR SOME, THE NIGHTMARES WERE BELIEVED AND BROUGHT INTO OUR PLANE OF EXISTENCE. HERE AT FILMQUEST, THE TIME HAS COME FOR THEM TO WEAVE THEIR SPELLS UPON YOU, FOR THEY ARE THE LAST RE- MAINING SHOWMEN AND WOMEN, DESCENDENTS OF P.T. BARNUM HIMSELF.
