and find a good movie to enjoy.
According
to Festival Director Helen McCready, more than 1,000 people attended the

building project.

over 75 films and offered a variety of workshops on filmmaking and
related topics. The Festival kicked off Thursday night with a screening
of the director's cut version of Forget About It. This 2006 movie
stars Burt Reynolds, Raquel Welch, Robert Loggia and Charles Durning.
A discussion with the film's producer and director, BJ Davis, and Robert
Loggia followed the screening. Robert Loggia was presented
with a lifetime achievement award.
UCLA

well attended by working and aspiring screen writers.

and formations of lights slowly and silently gliding over their heads.
Sunday, Peoria Film Festival attendees got to see the movie and discuss
it with author/ producer
Dr. Lynne D. Kitei, M.D
McCready said that the festival ran smoothly, but
she already has ideas of what to change next time. Included in ideas
and fine tuning were; introduce competitions for best commercial and
television pilots and next year to schedule the festival on days not
coinciding with spring training's opening weekend.
With
interest from more sponsors and filmmakers wanting to return next year,
the festival will be even larger!
Awards

their pursuit in picking the first recipients of over 40
awards handed out at the closing ceremony.
