SACRAMENTO FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL JUNE 18-27
This year the SFFF is focusing on
films with 15 features and 20 shorts. Most of the premieres we are
showing have come directly from France and truly represent the best
and latest that French cinema has to offer!
Because times are
difficult for everyone we are particularly excited that our film
line-up counts no less than 6 comedies (including the 1936
classic The Story of a
Cheat by Sacha Guitry)! Each of them
presents a unique facet of French (and Belgian) humor. We want to
make you laugh and leave you happy (the Festival will close with
the hilarious spy-spoof OSS 117, Lost in
Rio)!
Of course the other thought- provoking films in our selection,
thrillers, historical and social dramas, are not to be missed
either! And our Midnight Films will make you discover two classics
of the "bizarre"...

Lew Hunter's Superior Summer Screenwriting Colony 2010
Dates: June 19-July 2
You’re a movie buff and a writer. You not only mimic memorable characters and quote your favorite lines, but you have seen enough films to know what really works and what doesn’t. In fact, you’re itching to get to the keyboard to write your own material.
You can see yourself as a screenwriter. You have the passion; you have the ability.
Destination: Hollywood. Route to get there: Great writing, strong characters, and a story that lingers and resonates with the reader and audience long after they experienced your narrative.
The hardest part is often just realizing that you need to get on your way. You need to start writing.

The Story Beyond The Still Contest - LA, Sacramento
It's the first ever user-generated HD Video Contest where photographers become filmmakers, and we all see beyond the still. Last month M. Keegan Uhl was chosen as the winner of Chapter 3 for his film "The Beach," based on his interpretation of a still photograph left at the end of the previous winning chapter. M Keegan's film was the third chapter of seven, ending with a still photograph of its own for the Vimeo community to once again interpret. After a wave of entries, Jeff Turick's "Allison" was chosen as the winner for Chapter 4, and now, once again the question is posed to you, what do you see beyond this still?
Info@ http://vimeo.com/groups/beyondthestill
sac based filmmaker needs help on entry to above:
I'm working on an entry to the Beyond the Still contest (see
http://vimeo.com/groups/beyondthestill) and need a warehouse to shoot in,
like the one in Chapter 1 on this website. Do you know of any buildings in
Sacramento that match the look (wooden, industrial, French windows, etc.)
that we could do a one-day shoot in? We'd appreciate any help we can get.
The deadline for the contest is June 10th and we haven't even held auditions
yet. Yikes!
Thanks, Marty!

There are two skills and actor
must learn in order to work in movies and TV - Cold Reading and
Improvisation. Unlike Theater auditions, which often request
monologues, Movie and TV auditions don't generally use prepared
memorized material. In this class you will learn a technique of the
Mosaic Acting System that allows you to use the subjective mind to
quickly create a character with depth and substance, rather than
just trying to "learn the words". These same tools can then be used
to create a character for Screen, Stage or any type of performance.
As the class progresses, we cover cold reading and audition
techniques, as well as scene and monologue work. As the class size
is limited to a minimum of 8 and maximum of 12 new students,
pre-registration by the Monday before the class is required. This
class will be presented on four consecutive Saturdays from 10:00 AM
- 5:00 PM. Tuition is $300, and includes an audio CD. (Repeat fee
for prior students
$200)
June 5, 2010 from 10am to 4pm – Studio 24, 2220 K St. Sacramento, CA 95816 When: Saturday, June 5th 10:00am to 4:00pm Where: 2220 K St. Sacramento, CA 95816 FREE EVENT Free Comedy Shows Over $1000 in Prizes and Giveaways Food and Music Put your acting skills to the test.

Dear Martin,
In the Spotlight this

California.
FADEIN was established to help talented emerging artists worldwide

The Grand Prize Winner receives a brand new laptop computer and an
all-expenses-paid trip to Hollywood to take
meetings with agents and managers, while category winners take home
cash prizes and script analysis by WGA writers. What's more, FADEIN
offers its winners an unprecedented support network, working with
its writers over the course of a year to bring their scripts up to
professional standards before making key industry introductions. Hollywood's
top agents, managers, and producers have become accustomed to
requesting FADEIN's selected scripts and films. http://www.fadeinawards.com

Film will be shot mostly on location at the Hung A Leti reservation near South Lake Tahoe. The community is very supportive of the project and we will be using primarily Native cast and crew.
I am a filmmaker who grew up in the area, but now lives in LA and works in the film industry in various capacities. I am hoping to use this short film to add to my reel to apply for NYU's grad film program. It's not my first time around the block, so if you're looking to learn something from eachother working in a collaborative partnership, this would be a good fit. I'm a highly visual director and would like to plan the shots ahead of time in storyboard form with my DP. I've already begun this process, but the type of camera dictates what we
can do. blooming.ruby@yahoo.com
This is a very last minute, though fairly organized shoot in an effort to meet the deadline for this great festival. We'll be shooting in Fairfield, CA on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday NOVEMBER 22nd, 23rd and 24th (next week.) The scenes are very short, but the locations are numerous. We're looking for someone to operate a Panasonic 24p camera, as well as someone will a lav mic or two, or maybe just a boom and/or handheld mic, and someone with a very basic set of lights. Since this is an infomercial parody, the lighting can look appropriately cheesy to match...
Please email donovanschemke@hotmail.com or call 707-803-0308 with your experience and questions. We would like to work with fun people who love making films. We wish we could pay you, but we will feed you, and we will take this film to as much public notoriety as possible. It's a great opportunity for people looking to get experience/build their resume.
This is an infomercial parody of a work-out program called “Abs Like Jesus.” We consider ourselves to be respectful of religion, and Jesus. But this probably tests the boundaries a little bit. There is nothing gruesome or tasteless in it, it sends up infomercials mostly, but a sense of humor is required for involvement in this project.
Thank you for your interest!! See our 1st film, "Pimp My Rascal", an official selection at the 2009 L.A. Comedy Shorts Festival at www.jenniferschemke.com THANKS AGAIN!!
