Over 1,000 people enjoy the

1st Peoria AZ Film Festival

 

Press Release – Peoria AZ Film Festival

 

Ed Sharpe of Glendale AZ , couldn't wait to see his educational documentary/ movie, “ Glendale Fire Department Safety House”, light up a real movie theatre screen Sunday, March 4th.

Sharpe, his family members and friends held their breath awaiting the first cords of music and the opening scene on the giant screen.  "I am extremely excited," said Sharpe, a video journalist for the www.GlendaleDailyPlanet.com & KKAT-IPTV. "I brought my family and invited some friends when I learned it was screening."

Aspiring filmmakers like Sharpe, screenwriters, actors, producers and residents attended the festival, looking for industry tips, to make new friends and find a good movie to enjoy.

According to Festival Director Helen McCready, more than 1,000 people attended the inaugural event at Harkins Arrowhead 18. Ticket sales raised over $3,000 to benefit the Peoria Chamber of Commerce's new building project.

The four-day event, sponsored by the Peoria Chamber Film Office, screened 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 Professor Richard Walter led a screenwriting workshop Saturday morning, well attended by working and aspiring screen writers.

Sunday's educational venue started with "Product Placement, Catch the Media Buzz, and The 'MUST KNOW' of Being A Producer" Conference Q&A.  The panel for the event consisted of; John W. Cones (LA Entertainment Attorney), BJ Davis (Producer/Director), Jan Jacobson (Newspaper Journalist & Radio Show Host), Gay Gilbert (Producer/Casting Director), Elyane Stein (SAG Board Member), RoxanneChaisson (AFTRA Executive Director),  Pete Kelly "Pistol Pete" (Radio Personality - Energy 92.7/101.1),  Dan Manucci (Radio & Television Personality - KTAR News/Talk radio, KDUS/KSLX Radio), John Vasseur (Televison Producer of channel 12 sports show and other projects )

Following the panel discussion participants were also treated to a presentation by Dynamicfilm Producer Brenton Covington and  Bivas Biswas, Founder of D.I.B. Pictures Entertainment. Both presenters have produced and directed multiple award winning films. Attendees were treated to samples of their film work with a question and answer session afterwards.  Festival sponsor and judge Covington emphasized "It's amazing to see so many talented filmmakers who are doing great work out of Arizona ."

The final feature to screen Sunday  was  “THE PHOENIX LIGHTS…WE ARE NOT ALONE”  whereas thousands of Arizona residents also witnessed a parade of mile-wide, V-shaped craft 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!
