OSCAR WINNING DIRECTOR Kieth Merrill!

 

1st up we met KGO SF Film critic  and
"Flick Nation" author Dennis Willis who helped us with our FEARLESS OSCAR PICS! Dennis' astute and hilarious insights into the film industry got CFF members thinking about film as art vs commerce and the 2010 year in film.

 

THEN: A CFF EXCLUSIVE: VERY SPECIAL GUEST, Oscar winning director, Kieth Merrill. Mr. Merrill won the Best Documentary Academy Award for his film, "The Great American Cowboy". In addition to an amazing career as a director, Mr. Merrill has pioneered the use of the IMAX format, regarded by many as the premier cinema format in the world. Members met Kieth and learned from one of the greats of American Cinema. He even let us touch his Oscar!


 No really, check out the pics below, Kieth was amazing!

 

Special thanks to CFF photog Heath Santi for the gorgeous pics!

    Damn!  I won't be able to attend tonight.  Forgot that I'll be doing a Mosaic Acting workshop for the drama students at Franklin High.

    Marty - I will be attending, and La Tisha will as well.  I am not sure if she has rsvp'd, but we both plan on being there.

     

    Thanks!

    Keith is very personable, and I'm sure he will be glad to shake hands and speak with whomever desires to do so after the presentation.

    Hey guys,

     

    Sorry I wasn't at the last meetings.  I got really sick.  I'm still trying to get well so I'm hoping to be at the Artisan on Friday.
