             The Legend of Crazy George has applied to:

International Film Festival of Horror
October, 2005
Cincinnati, Ohio

http://www.festivalofhorror.com/index.php

The International Festival of Horror would like to officially invite filmmakers from around the world to submit their films as we open for the 2005 season. This year we are expanding our purpose slightly and accepting Science Fiction and Fantasy productions. We are looking for creative, experimental, underground, low-budget, no-budget, and indie shorts and feature length films in the following genre's:
Horror
Slasher
Horror Experimental
Thriller
Suspense
Sci-Fi
Fantasy
Psychological
Animated Horror
Animated Sci-fi
Documentary
The International Festival of Horror was established to showcase the works of underground horror and sci-fi filmmakers that are ignored by the main stram and provide an outlet for these films to be showcased. One of our missions is also to help build aliances between filmmakers, independent production companies, and underground distributors. Together, we can build an underground distribution network that reaches markets the powers-that-be cannot reach or don't want to bother with.
We are seeking intelligent, cutting edge, independent horror movies that explore humanities deepest fears and desires without fear of the Status Quo. Many films in these gernres are forced to change there script or never receive distribution because of antiquated moralities or because the films challenged the power structures. By giving voice to these films and their messages, the International Festival of Horror hopes to be an agent of change in their struggle for expression.
We also believe that horror and sci-fi is at it's best when it functions as social critique, whether consiously or unconsciously. As part of our unique festival vision, we have created the first political horror and sci-fi festival in the world, and added a documentary award for "The Truth is Scarier than Fiction." Last year's winner was "Florida Fights Back," a grass roots documentary about the 2000 election scandle in Florida. But just because we care about the world doesn't mean we don't like to get good and scared, or intellectually challenged, so don't think your film will get overlooked if it doesn't have an overt political theme. Part of our mission is also to reward filmmakers who take risks and chances because these filmmakers are paving the way to the future.
Our first festival screened over 30 films in 3 days. Audienced where shocked, thrilled, disoriented, and appalled. In other words, a great first year! We'd like to thank all the filmmakers who submitted their films and those who came out for the screenings and invite them to come back for our 2nd annual FESTIVAL OF HORROR!

The 7th annual Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival is set for September 22-25, 2005 in Birmingham, Alabama's historic theatre district.

THIS IS REE MITCHELL’S (PEARL) HOME TOWN SO CAST AND CREW SHOULD FIND WAYS TO GIVE HER A HARD TIME. I HAVE MY PLANS FOR HER FOR SURE.

What is Sidewalk ?

Now in its sixth year, the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival is an annual independent film festival in Birmingham, Alabama's historic downtown Theatre District. It was created in 1999 by local filmmakers to "bring new films to a new audience." Sidewalk is a project of the Alabama Moving Image Association, Inc., a publicly supported 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, whose other programs include the Sidewalk Cinematheque and the Sidewalk Salon.
See film run. The 6th annual Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival, September 23-26, 2004, was another huge success. Over 150 films were screened across 7 venues in downtown Birmingham's Theatre District, with over 1,500 people attending Saturday evening's premiere of ALICE'S MISADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND alone.

             National Public Radio has reported today that the last factory producing audio tape has closed. The end of the analog era has arrived and the digital era is here. My beloved film can't be far behind. Sorry Zack and Kevin - I suggest buring something in mourning.
