UPCOMING EVENTS

21 May 2008 MEETING

Our May meeting will be: Wednesday, 21 May 2008, 1830 EST (6:30 p.m.) at the "Pink Door: Noodles and Tea Lounge" Restaurant, 2222 Dundee Road at Douglas Loop, off of Bardstown, Road, Louisville, KY 40205. We will be meeting in their party room. Their phone number is: 502-295-2441 (in case you all cannot find it while on Bardstown Road). (Douglas Loop is a located at Bardstown Road (on west side) between the "Twig & Leaf" Restaurant and "Kinko's Copies" in the "Highlands" neighborhood of Louisville, KY.) They literally have pink doors for the restaurant. It is on the corner of Dundee Road and Douglas Loop.

Guest Speakers

Our first guest speaker will be: a professional published author, poet, former English professor from the University of Louisville, and restaurateur, Bill Smith (W. Loran Smith) who owns the Shady Lane Cafe. Bill will speak about his publications and the profession of writing quality products that your market will seek to purchase. His talents at creative writing translate into helping filmmakers understand how they must adapt their concepts into scripts or screenplays.

For the second portion of our meeting, we will view the director's-cut of "Celtic Women: A New Journey" which is a unique and behind-the-scenes view of producing a musical production, but then also turning that into a TV special at the historical Slane Castle in Ireland.

MEETING LOCATION


"Pink Door: Noodles and Tea Lounge" Restaurant, 2222 Dundee Road at Douglas Loop, off of Bardstown, Road, Louisville, KY 40205.

Everyone is welcome to attend that is 18 years of age or older. Show up hungry and you will be able to buy an affordable meal at the restaurant. PLEASE CONTINUE TO CHECK THIS WEBPAGE!!! We strive to be in these restaurants when they have fewer customers as it means we are welcome to utilize the room longer.

DIRECTIONS

The video is for country star John Michael Montgomery and will be directed by "On The Lot" runner-up and local Kentuckian Jason Epperson. The tentative shooting date is 30 May 2008, so any candidate would have to be available exclusively starting the week of the 26 May 2008.

Filmmakers/students READ THE FOLLOWING from financial advisor Clark Howard

Students seeking loans from peer-to-peer lenders

We're getting a large increase in the number of calls about student loans. The lending market is essentially frozen because of the fallout from the mortgage crisis. Are you still trying to figure out how to pay for college this fall? Clark has 2 important pieces of information to share with you.

There's emergency legislation working way its through Congress that will allow the federal government to be the "bank" for educational loans for this fall. Clark has full faith that this legislation will be pushed through in time for school.

Yet federal loans may not cover a tuition bill in its entirety. You can try to get a private loan, but very few private lenders are disbursing funds. So where do you turn? Try the peer-to-peer online lending sites where you can borrow directly from other people and cut the banks out of the equation.

Here's how they work: A borrower posts the amount they need to borrow; their credit rating; their debt-to-income ratio; and how much interest they're willing pay. Multiple lenders can then log on and each lend just a fraction of the money to limit their individual risk. http://www.prosper.com/ is one of the most popular sites for this sort of thing. Clark also has a list of http://clarkhoward.com/liveweb/shownotes/2008/03/14/13334/ (other P2P lending sites available).

Kentucky Film Lab Receives Grant

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has awarded a $5,000 grant to the Kentucky Film Lab (KFL), to support KFL's 2008 Filmmaker's Studio.

The grant from the Los Angeles-based Academy, best known for its Oscars, comes as the non-profit KFL is gearing up for its fifth Filmmaker Studio in Louisville this fall.

"It's great news that the Academy recognizes the importance of our mission . supporting cinematic arts in the region," said KFL co-director Brad Riddell.

"This will pay long-term dividends for filmmaking in Kentucky," said Arthur Rouse, KFL managing director. KFL studio participants have gone on to direct their own films, form writers' groups, and work on feature-film crews.

The KFL Filmmaker's Studio is a rigorous three-day educational seminar covering the fundamentals of filmmaking, from script to screen. It includes hands-on production training, individual script analysis, and a series of speakers working today in film and television.

"The grant will be used to enhance seminar offerings, while keeping student fees low," said KFL co-founder Mark Shepherd.

The Kentucky Film Lab is an initiative of the IdeaFestival (www.ideafestival.com) and is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the cinematic arts in Kentucky through education, collaboration, distribution and production.

A Gig with "The Group Entertainment"

Louisville Kalandor Nixon Lands Another Opportunity to do Professional Script Analysis

Kalandor Nixon is the associate editor of 94 Creations, a freelance script analyst for Hart-Lunsford Pictures, and now he is doing script coverage for The Group Entertainment (TGE), an independent film production company with offices in New York and Louisville, Kentucky. The company's founder, Gill Holland, is a Spirit-Award nominee and has produced over fifty feature films.

How did Kalandor land his latest gig? He met Gill Holland at one of Spalding University's brief-residency MFA in Writing sessions and later sent him a kind email inquiring about the prospect of analyzing scripts for TGE. Gill's affirmative response came shortly thereafter. Now Kalandor has three scripts in hands to read.

Kalandor Picks a Winner

Hart-Lunsford Pictures shot a movie titled Trucker, the screenplay of which Kalandor reviewed and recommended for production. The movie premiered in the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival.

LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY'S "WAVERLY HILLS SANATORIUM"

FOR MORE INFORMATION:
Ebay Link

The Waverly Hills Sanatorium is a real building in Louisville Kentucky, and one of the most haunted places in the United States.

It has been featured on "The World's Scariest Places," "MTV's Fear," and was the location used to film the horror film "The Death Tunnel. Recently, it was the subject for two shows on the Sci-Fi Channel - "Spooked: The Ghosts of Waverly Hills Sanatorium," and "TAPS - GHOST HUNTERS!"

The Waverly Hills Sanatorium was a place for people to go to die. It housed thousands of patients who were diagnosed with TB, and were sent there "by law" to live at Waverly until they were cured, or perished. Because there was no cure, many of them indeed died there, and at peak operation there was one death an hour.

It now stands to reason that this facility would be a prime location for hauntings, considering that that much suffering and death occurred. Even two nurses committed suicide in that building.

It took over three years to create this audio CD, with ghost stories and paranormal activity caught on our audio equipment - mastered, and ready for listeners to experience.

This CD was compiled to bring listeners an old time treat, to play this CD by the speakers in the dark, and listening to the many ghost stories that haunt the building to this very day. The CD is even hosted by a dearly departed resident of Waverly, who acts as your caretaker on your audio tour.

Points of interest on "The Waverly Hills Sanatorium Audio Experience":

The original 2002 broadcast contains a EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomena) which when played at normal speed sounds like five tones in a row, forming a melody. When those tones are slowed down, it becomes a woman's voice saying "your not supposed to be here." This famous EVP captured during this broadcast was featured on Fox News, and is mentioned on the ghost tour at Waverly.

The best way to listen to this CD is with the lights off, and the speakers up. Make sure you have some friends with you, because some of the things you will hear are incredibly frightening.

While everything that happened to us on the broadcast was 100% REAL, and nothing was pre-planned or faked, we can still not confirm or deny that "something" exists beyond death. We do want to stress that Waverly, if anything, is the closest proof we have been provided to make us believe there is more in the "afterlife" than we presently understand.

Jessica Shoffner, one of our audio crew members grew very sick almost instantly in the Solarium, and had to sit on the floor for several minutes to regain her composure. She was sweating, very warm, and complained of being physically ill without warning.

Our crew not only experienced sudden onsets of sickness, but our video cameras began functioning wildly, with flashing lights and draining batteries. Our audio equipment stopped, then started, and it took us a few attempts to get back on track with the rest of the tour. At one point of our visit, bare footprints appeared on the cement, which caused us to go and investigate, and doors slammed and banged as we tried to get Jessica some air and continue conducting our investigation.

The entire setting for the evening was one twisted turn of events after another, which can all be heard on "The Waverly Hills Sanatorium Audio Experience."

Early in the tour, we quickly began to realize that we had much more in store for us than we bargained for - and we were right.

Later in the tour we would witness a wispy figure dart across a door across the way from us on the fifth floor, and then witness "shadow people" crossing from one door to another breaking the natural light flowing in from the night sky outdoors.

Our biggest, and possibly the most horrifying event was not the shadow people we were watching, but the dark ominous figure that was standing behind us, seeming to get closer. The air grew silent and still - and the temperature of the room grew WARM. Keith Age from the Louisville Ghost Hunters Society quickly asked us to step back, because he said that this was typical right before "violent activity" occurred.

While everyone investigated the area safely, there were no physical attacks - however doors continued to close on their own, and in one case even unlock.

All of these events are captured on "The Waverly Hills Sanatorium Audio Experience," and we urge you to get a copy and experience it for yourself. There were definitely things we could not explain, and for the record - the large dark "shadowy" figure that stood behind us haunts my mind as we write this now. I never EVER want to see anything similar to that in my lifetime.

I do hope you enjoy this 80 minute CD, as our crew has worked hard and "suffered" a lot to bring them to you. Happy Hauntings! ~ Jake A. Wheat (Station Manager)

Bowling Green, KY

In March 2003, Max Media purchased WNKY-NBC. Based in Virginia Beach, Max Media has always been known as a progressive corporation that is committed to growing stations it owns. A good example is WNKY. In three years of ownership, the TV station has already moved into a new state-of-the-art facility, grown personnel, added a local weather department and recently signed on WNKY-CBS (in addition to WNKY-NBC). This growth is unprecedented and is the key to WNKY's continued success in South Central Kentucky.

On 10 September 2005 WNKY-NBC broadcast its first Live AccuWeather Forecast. WNKY-NBC did not take this launch of a local weathercast lightly. The station brought the area's only meteorologist, Chris Sowers, to the market. It made a point to offer a better product by presenting a clear, easy to understand, educated approach to the weather.

It is amazing what innovation and technology has brought to the broadcast television industry, giving us abilities that we could not have dreamed of only a few years ago. This new technology allowed WNKY to grew tremendously in 2007 when we launched WNKY-CBS on February 1st. WNKY now offers the NBC and CBS affiliate stations in South Central Kentucky. WNKY-CBS is a digital signal and can be found over the air at 40.2 or on Insight Cable channel 10.

WNKY has grown dramatically over the past few years, much like South Central Kentucky, and WNKY is moving into the future with determination to bring South Central Kentucky top weather coverage, the latest in meteorological equipment and top-rated NBC and CBS programming.

You know it and we know it: Julie Goldman is just about the funniest woman alive.

Fresh from season 2 of the hit THE BIG GAY SKETCH SHOW on Logo and her OFFENSIVE WOMEN project, Julie Goldman is brining her unique, and relentless style to WCS.

"Julie Goldman deals with the art of stand-up like she's got nothing to lose. Goldman is a crackerjack stand-up comic whose romping pop style and perfect timing allow her to wrest the uproarious from the serious and send her audience careening toward side-splitting bliss. Call it feminist or lesbian humor if you want, but the great thing about Goldman is she transcends all those terms and shows us that we are all in this together. She is very now and an absolute must see."

We are warning you...do not miss this "charmingly deviant" "kick-ass comedian"!

Mary Pickford Silent Film Vault
on "American Experience" TV show (PBS). See your local listings for times.

The Dream (1911) (10:03)
Pickford plays the wife of a philandering man. After he comes home drunk, he has a bad dream -- that his wife has left the house for some fun of her own. When he wakes up, he realizes he should treat his wife better.

Rags (1915) (8:20)
Pickford portrays a feisty, independent woman. In this clip, she has just arrived at a refined Eastern home -- a world away from her origins in a rugged Western mining town. Women particularly identified with Pickford's spirited characters, and her fan base swelled.

Little Lord Fauntleroy (1921) (9:48)
Pickford portrays Cedric, a rambunctious, impoverished American boy who discovers he's the heir to a British fortune. She also portrays Dearest, Cedric's mother.

The film includes a legendary special effect: the two characters portrayed by Pickford kiss. "This wasn't something that was sent off to the laboratories, as happens now, or to computer-generated imagery," says film historian Kevin Brownlow. "This was done in the camera. You wound the shot back and you re-exposed it, and you had to block out the previous figure. I still don't know how they did it." As feature films grew longer and more elaborately produced, audiences embraced colorful, escapist stories like this one, and Hollywood ratcheted up the complexity of movie sets, lighting, and camera techniques.

Call for Entries: Cincinnati Film Fringe Festival

Cincinnati Film Fringe, part of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival, is a showcase of short digital cinema will take place on two or more days of the overall Festival (depending upon the number of accepted submissions). We are looking for films less than 30 minutes in length, but will consider projects up to one hour in length. Films may be experimental or more traditional. They can span any genre. They need not premiere at the Cincinnati Fringe Festival, but premieres are always welcome. Documentaries are welcome and encouraged. Basically, we are looking for quality, unusual digital cinema to augment our live performance and visual fringe (art) offerings.

Eleven days of performance, arts, film, music, and everything in between.

Welcome to the home of the 2008 Cincinnati Fringe Festival.
The applications for the 2008 Festival running 28 May 2008 to 8 June 2008 are now available.

Selection of Artists:

The Film Fringe Selection Committee selects projects based on the following criteria:

* Social, aesthetic and creative content of the project.
* Ability to screen work that would traditionally not be seen in this region presented in an innovative style.
* Ability to properly fill out the application and have less than 3 spelling and grammar errors.
* Ability to provide significant bribes to the Selection Committee, Producing Director, and/or organizers. (Cash is not the only bribe that will be accepted...think vacations, computers, Wii consoles and games, and in some cases - just compliments). This part is just a joke. Not really.

We encourage submitting works that demonstrate the avant-garde spirit of the Cincinnati Fringe Festival. Preference will be given to works that would not/have not normally been screened in the Greater Cincinnati Region. The Selection Committee will review all project applications, select appropriate projects and determine screening order. The filmmakers selected retain full artistic license and freedom for their work.

For more information and to download an application, visit the fringe website at http://www.cincyfringe.com/

Hope to see your film on the fringe.

PRODUCTION

SCC Feature Length Film

Somerset Community College Theatre's Digital Video Productions will be shooting a large cast feature length film this summer entitled Nancy Barry's Big Case. SCC is opening casting to regional talent who wish to build their resume credits by serving as production cast or crew. Since this is an educational project, there will be no monetary compensation for participation. Further information may be obtained by contacting the project producer, Steve Cleberg, by email at: Steve.Cleberg@kctcs.edu

Anyone interested in a speaking role will be asked to take part in a screen test to be scheduled in Somerset on selected weekends between now and March. Sides for the test are now available and may be obtained from the email address above along with information on how to schedule a screen test. There are also many non-speaking extra roles that do not require a screen test. Those who wish to be included on a list available for extra work are encouraged to contact the email address above to have their name and contact information included on the Extras List. Those wishing to assist in the technical aspects of the production such as lighting, sound, continuity, costuming or make up are urged to contact the email address above and take part in technical training sessions to be scheduled throughout the winter and early spring. Nancy Barry's Big Case is an off-beat romantic comedy set on the fictional campus of Summer Falls Community College. In many ways, it pays homage to the Bonita Granville "Nancy Drew" films of the 1930's but with a mystical twist. Nancy Barry's Big Case is set in the present day and follows the story of a young college girl, seemingly stuck in the 1950's, who tries to solve the mystery of a lifetime. The production is an educational project produced by Somerset Community College Theatre's film wing, Digital Video Productions. The casts and crews for DVP projects include SCC students, former students and other volunteers from the community and region. This past September, Digital Video Productions film version of August Strindberg's play, The Stronger, was an official selection at the Bluegrass Independent Film Festival. SCC will be doing screen tests for speaking roles until mid March of 2008. Shooting for the project is scheduled to begin in late April and will wrap up in mid-July.

48 Hour Film Festival
Fall 2008 (Date: TBA)
Somerset Community College (SCC)

On 25-27 January 2008 SCC's first annual "Digital Video Productions 48 Hour Film Festival" invited both novice and professional filmmakers to engage in the art and craft of filmmaking in this exciting and challenging two day event. The Festival took place in Somerset, Kentucky and began with a kick-off meeting at 6:00 p.m. Friday, 25 January 2008 in SCC's Stoner Little Theatre. Film teams were given only two days to conceive, prepare, shoot and produce a short film (no longer than six minutes in length) and present it on SCC Stoner Little Theatre's big screen along with short features from other filmmakers entered in the Festival.

On Sunday evening of the Festival, films and performances were screened, adjudicated and the evening culminated with an awards ceremony honoring Technical Excellence, Special Achievement in Creativity, and Best Film. Performance awards were also given for Best Ensemble Performance, Best Featured Performance, and Best Supporting Performance. "People's Choice Awards" will be given to those films that the audience votes on as most effectively incorporating the required elements into the films. On the first evening of the Festival, film teams attended an official kick-off meeting with the producer of the event. At that time, the special elements of the film projects are assigned. To assure that teams do not engage in significant filmmaking before the official 48 hours of the Festival begins, they will not learn of a number of elements that their film must contain until this meeting. First, each team drew a different film genre after which their project must be stylized. Four additional elements (the same for all filmmakers) are also assigned at this initial meeting and must be incorporated into the short film. Those are; a line of dialogue, a prop, a character and a costume element. After the teams received their assignments, they had 48 hours to complete their project, with all the assigned elements incorporated, and submitted to the producer of the Festival in DVD form. Teams that have their films submitted, in proper form, by the deadline on Sunday night had their projects screened before the festival audience and judged for the categories mentioned above.

PRESS RELEASE ABOUT JANUARY 2008 FILM FESTIVAL:

Congratulations to all who took part in our first 48 Hour Film Festival. A copy of the new release is below. The weekend was such a success that we are planning to have another one in September.

NEWS RELEASE

SCC Theatre's First Annual 48 Hour Film Festival Awards Announced

Somerset Community College Theatre conducted its first annual 48 Hour Film Festival during the last weekend in January. The screening of the locally produced films played for a packed house in SCC's Stoner Little Theatre on the final evening of the Festival. Five teams competed and several prizes were given at the awards ceremony that followed the public screening.

Each Film team was assigned four elements that had to appear in all of the films. Each film was required to include a character by the name of Shadow; two intertwined pipe cleaners had to appear as a prop; a rock and roll themed t-shirt had to appear as a costume and the line "I love pie" had to appear somewhere in the film. Each individual team also drew a specific genre after which their film project had to be fashioned. The five genres drawn for the weekend filming efforts were silent film, fantasy film, monster movie, spy thriller and courtroom drama.

A local team headed by local filmmaker, David Daring, drew the silent movie category and was the big winner of the evening taking home three of the nine awards for their film entitled Fifteen Cents. The monster movie Shadow of Christmas, headed up by Jason Stogsdill's team, and the fantasy film Opportunity, headed up by Matt Citak's team, each received two awards. Zach Bales drew the spy thriller genre for his team's film which was entitled Serial. A team from Louisville, headed by Brennan Callan, drew courtroom drama as their genre and entitled their film Somerset Up. Bales' and Callan's teams both received one award each.

There were three acting awards that included Best Ensemble Performance, Best Supporting Performance and Best Featured Performance. Keith Nixon with Callan Productions out of Louisville took home the Best Supporting Performance for his acting in the courtroom drama entry Somerset Up. The Best Ensemble Performance went to the cast of the silent film Fifteen Cents. The award for the best featured performance was awarded to Bobby Hicks for his performance in Shadow of Christmas.

There were three awards for Special Achievement in Creativity. Shadow of Christmas won for the best use of the pie as a film element and the inventive creation of the villain. The fantasy film, Opportunity, received recognition for creative location scouting and creativity in costuming. The silent film, Fifteen Cents received recognition for creativity in the use of the pipe cleaner element.

The three top prizes of the night were the People's Choice Award, award for Technical Excellence and the Best Film Award. The award for Technical Excellence went to Zach Bales' team for excellence in set design, color, costumes and stunts in the spy thriller Serial. The People's Choice Award was determined by audience ballot and was designed to go to the team that audience members felt most effectively incorporated all of the elements into their film. That award went to Matt Citak's fantasy film Opportunity. The top prize of the night went to the silent film Fifteen Cents which took home the Best Film Award for overall quality.

Lexington Filmmaker and head of ZP International Productions, George Bonilla, and award-winning filmmaker, Scott Sullivan, served as the judges for the screening event.

SCC Theatre plans to make the festival an annual event and hopes that anyone interested in learning more about the process of filmmaking will get involved.

Two Day Film Challenge
in Bowling Green, KY

NEWS: The fourth annual Two Day Film Challenge was 26-28 October 2007. The premier was on Thursday, 1 November 2007. CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE THAT PARTICIPATED. Whether you won a prize, tee shirt, parking pass, videotape or only had the opportunity to participate, it seems that everyone came out a winner for those experiences. Be sure to write a journal of your positive and negative learning experience. Your future success will come from being able to ensure that positive changes occur based on these experiences and then resolving whatever or whoever was a problem on this situation and film. Progress toward professionalism is a constant effort of refinement.

UPDATE: 18 teams had signed up on Friday night; but on Sunday only 14 teams had timely submitted their films for the challenge. Other films were judged to see if they met the expectations for including all variables (secret ingredients) and if the teams filled out their paperwork properly. Beyond that, all films must be able to function for the judges to view them as well as for the audiences. The 14 teams got further reduced slightly by disqualification. This process is important as it helps to encourage professionalism by learning the discipline.

Louisville's premier black tie gala


Beaux Arts Ball

Louisville's premier black tie gala for the gay and lesbian community moves to the elegant Louisville Marriot Downtown on 11 October 2008. The evening will start with a host bar and passed appetizers, followed by a four course meal with complimentary wine. A silent auction filled with wonderful treasures will run the entire evening. Film and television star Leslie Jordan (best known for his roles of Beverly Leslie on WILL AND GRACE and Brother Boy in SORDID LIVES) brings his hilarious one-man-show to Louisville exclusively for the Ball. Finish your evening by dancing the night away to a mix of current hits and classic favorites. Tickets are $150 per person and are on sale now. Proceeds from the event will go to VOICES of Kentuckiana -- the area's only all-inclusive chorus and the Care Coordinator Program of the Volunteers of America -- assisting local families living with HIV/AIDS.

Leslie Jordan is an Emmy Award-winning American actor hailing from Chattanooga, Tennessee. At a height of just 4 ft 11 in (1.50 m), Jordan has become an instantly recognizable face in film and television. He is most well known for his television work: including guest appearances on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Star Trek: Voyager, Reba, Boston Public, and Boston Legal. Jordan is best known for his role of Karen's pretentious rival Beverley Leslie on the hit series Will & Grace. For that role he received an Emmy Award for Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series (2006).

Jordan, who is openly gay, is an accomplished stage actor and playwright. In one of his best-known performances onstage, he played Brother Boy in Sordid Lives, a role he took to the big screen in the popular cult film of the same name. Jordan has stated that he will be reprising his role as "Brother Boy" in the upcoming 2008 Del Shores' TV series Sordid Lives: The Series (LOGO/MTV) based on the film with Emmy nominated actress Delta Burke. He wrote and starred in the autobiographical play Lost in the Pershing Point Hotel, which was also made into a motion picture. He recently toured the country performing his one-man stage comedy, Like a Dog on Linoleum, to rave reviews. In this show, he tells stories of the high and low points of his life, from his father's death in a plane crash when he was just 11 years old, to his battles with substance abuse and his weakness for street hustlers.

OTHER LOCAL EVENTS:

In 2004, VSM Casting Services placed more than 500 extras in the movie, SWEET WILLIAM, starring Frank Langella, Laura Allen and Bruce Romans. That film's title was changed to HOW YOU LOOK TO ME, and is being nationally released on DVD.

HOW YOU LOOK TO ME was shot entirely on location in Kentucky and stars Frank Langella, who just won the 2007 Tony Award for his portrayal of Richard Nixon in the Peter Morgan Broadway hit, "Frost/Nixon." Frank will also be reprising his role in the film adaptation of the same name, to be directed by Ron Howard. The very talented Laura Allen, from "Mona Lisa Smile," "The 4400," and most recently the FX hit drama "Dirt," also stars.

From the Writer/Producer: "Our film was largley seen at film festivals last year and we are very happy that it will now have a life on DVD. If you are interested in seeing our movie, please check it out. If you think you may know someone else who may be interested in seeing it, please forward this information. The best way for small films like this to be seen is by spreading the word, so any help is greatly appreciated!"
