“It Happened One Weekend” is happening this weekend.

Among other Hoosier-made films, “It Happened One Weekend” will be featured in the Heartland International Film Festival, which will run from Thurs., Oct. 6-Sun., Oct. 16.

The film stars two Hoosiers who spend the weekend walking around Indy, talking about life. Shot in black-and-white, Nuvo called it “a love letter to romantic comedies and the Circle City itself.” If you see the movie, you’ll recognize spots like Mass Ave. + Fountain Square, which give the film “a warm backdrop.” If you’re unable to see this film at The Living Room or the Glendale Landmark, you can stream it online.

Want more made-in-Indiana movies? Here are a few that are worth your watch in the film festival’s lineup:
