Olympia Film Festival just around the corner!

November 11th - 20th, 2010

I'm volunteering with and screening in the Oly Fest once again...

VOLUNTEERING: The new "SPONSORSHIP VIDEO PROJECT"
I'm co-coordinating an exciting pilot project with this year's Festival Director, Sarah Adams, where we've matched local film and video artists with local businesses who are sponsoring various films and events throughout the Festival. These short pieces will screen before the film or event that the business is sponsoring. Some artists participating include Bridget O'Brien-Smith, Ryan Converse, and Brian Fligner - the creator of one of my all-time favorite animated shorts, Discovering Simon: http://vimeo.com/6565324.

SCREENING IN THE PROGRAM: "R.I.P. KODACHROME"
happening at The Northern - Nov 17th, Weds, 5:30pm:
