The Film Schedule is almost finished!

Yay! We're this much closer to getting the festival going. For the past week Scott and I have been working on the festival schedule, which movies are showing and where. We're way excited! There are some really really awesome shorts programs and some great features. We're opening Wednesday night with Heber Holiday! It's a film shot in Utah about a Hollywood Diva who gets lost here in Utah. It has Chunga from 101.9 in it and it really is a going to be a great night with the opening reception and the premiere of Heber Holiday.
Xterra sports is having a mountain and sports night Friday night at Egyptian Theater. They'll be giving away snowboarding gear and such. But I have to be honest. I am more excited about what's showing at Wildcat theater that night. It's a film called STOMP! SHOUT! SCREAM! It's like a b-rate 60's horror flick complete with a girl band and a monster (the skunk-ape) who likes to kill people. It's a perfect movie to show at Wildcat Theater! We'll also be showing a students shorts program at Wildcat theater!
Also at the Wildcat theater will be the IDP, or the university project. We're way excited for this premiere! There will also be other dance and music films that night with that program. I look forward to watching, Cocoon, again. It's a short about a dancer who is faced with a problem that will affect her life in very dramatic ways depending on which ways she chooses to handle it.
There are a few shorts I am looking forward to! There is one called Federal Affair that I know we're trying to show as much as possible. It is just about 4 minutes long, but it is brilliant! 300 pounds has become a favorite with the judge. Some of the kids shows are also great! There's a stop animation called Davie and Golymir that we'll show at the kids fest at Treehouse Museum. It is based off of David and Goliath. We also for the kids fest: Hold the onions, A Christmas Soldier, Letting go, Gretchen Brettschneider Skirts Thirty and many many others that are fantastic.
We'll be posting the official schedule soon on our website! We're showing what looks like 82 films. We're stoked! We're getting closer and closer to the festival and putting on some great events this year!
