Newport Beach Film Festival

blueerica · 04-20-2005, 04:02 PM

I know this is kind of late notice (my procrastination/laziness got the best of me again!), but I wanted to mention the upcoming Newport Beach Film Festival.

I've never been before, and it goes on for 9 days down in Orange County. This year, I was made aware of it by tramspotter's & my roommate, Eric Murphy, who entered a short film into the programme.

The movie is called Steel Valley, and is based off the real life story of the now U.S. Congressman, Tim Ryan, and his run for Ohio State Senate. I got to work on the film, and just had a whole bunch of fun.

If I was really smart, I would have posted this a couple of weeks ago, like I meant to do, but didn't... So I'm pulling out a last ditch effort to see if anyone's free during the couple of days it's playing... The submitted film is actually not the version it currently is, as the submission date was quite some time ago, but we'd still like to see and hear what people think of it.

World Premiere

Newport Beach Film Festival
Fri., April 22 @ 4pm*- Edwards Island 3
Mon., April. 25 @ 6:30pm - Edwards Island 3

The film is a part of a programme called "Ambition, Success, and Shorts About Dorks." It runs 98 minutes in total (all the films combined), and should be a lot of fun.

I'll be attending on Friday at 4:00 PM, and I'd love to see some of you there. If you can't make it, that's cool. The festival is going on for 9 days, and there are a lot of other great short independent films playing there, so you should go check it out, if you can. It's a great way to support the independent arts!

Hope to see you there!

Dammit, I can't this weekend. And I totally want to support you AND Ed O, who I love.

FIE!

Would that I could, but not a chance this weekend.

blueerica · 04-20-2005, 04:22 PM

Not even the 6:30 PM show on Monday, GD?

BarTopDancer · 04-20-2005, 06:39 PM

Ah crap. I was looking forward to seeing this film too.

Perhaps I can do the Monday 6:30 showing.

blueerica · 04-20-2005, 07:10 PM

Yeah, the Monday show might end up being a little better for the work crowd, though still tough. I'm really amazed at how many films are at this show, but the "Programme" of short films that Steel Valley got grouped with all are getting the short end of the stick with play times. I suppose it's better than say -- 2:00 PM on a weekday...

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to it being in a newer, leaner, better form in the coming festivals. This is kind of an end (of sorts) to the major festival season, so when the fall comes along, if this gets a good reaction, it can carry over to a good reception at some of the bigger festivals toward the end of summer into the fall.

A lot of really cool people in the industry have been looking at the film, and he's got a lot of hope for turning this into a feature-length project, likely including elements from Tim Ryan's run for U.S. Congress...

Hmm. We may be able to do Monday.

This just sounds depressing.

I would so be there if I didn't have a Passover commitment (and I'm a shicksa). I am fascinated and intrigued by what ex-Imagineers are doing these days. There are so many talented people trying to make their way in the world outside of Disney. Their stories are all very different, sometimes wonderful and sometimes heartbreaking.
