JULY 23 - 30 http://igfdb.com/news.php?item.114.2

Well, a whole year has passed and the AOF returns for 2010 with more films, more stars, more awards and more ways to thank our filmmakers and writers than ever before. First of all, a great thanks to last years supporters, sponsors, advertisers and stars; Morgan Sheppard, Ron Perlman, Kim Coates, James Lew, Eric Bana, Rick Peters and many others. Also, a great welcome to those celebrities who we will welcome to the festivities in 2010 including Talia Shire, Anthony De Longis, R.D. Call, Kim Coates (Again!) and a number of others who will be named as confirmations are received.

We welcome new sponsors; EVS, In Magazine, Japon Bistro, El Portal, The Coffee Tree, Openfilm and the Sheraton and the great Howard Haberman of our Host Hotel, THE SHERATON for their support of the 2010 AOF Event. With an expanded, party, seminar and event schedule, surely there will be something for everyone.

Don't forget the Free Events like the Sunday Symposium with Studio Executive Alan Bailey, the new Free Actor's and Writer's Symposium and a new event, the Anthony De Longis Making Action Count Seminar which is brought to you by the R.I.O.T. Act and sponsored by In Magazine and the Sheraton Hotel.
Order Making Action Count Tickets Here.

Dear AOF Team,
Thanks to your hard work, I've been inducted into the WGAw through the Independent Writers Caucus! This has some pretty great implications for the festival, as AOF was THE festival they deemed prestegious enough for their criteria. Hopefully this will pave the way for other winning writers and give the AOF the marketing gravitas of other WGA qualifying festivals like Slamdance, Sundance, and Austin. I'll be doing everything in my power to promote the Action On Film Festival to other writers and filmmakers, but really-- you do such a damn good job, I don't have to do much convincing!
Thanks so much for everything! I am eternally grateful for your help and support over the years -Justin Owensby

]]> sgeorgiad@nospam.com (stantheman) Mon, 05 Apr 2010 14:21:56 -0700 http://igfdb.com/news.php?item.112.2 SOMETHING DIFFERENT.... http://igfdb.com/news.php?item.111.2 We are always interested and keen to, not just help fellow filmmakers but to spotlight them and help in whatever way we can...This is a project by member Adrian Collins and I thought we'd feature it as it was a little different to what we normally get to see...

“The River of Life” a short film project, is about the story of a soul seeking reincarnation in the physical world: http://sites.google.com/site/theriveroflifeproject/ The message is that women who have terminated their pregnancies need not be burdened with a lifetime of guilt, because in essence they are merely returning that soul to the astral in agreement with their Life Contract. The story is derived from actual demonstrations of a psychic medium whose observations were later verified by the would-be mother. Here is the Craigslist ad: http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/tfr/1571618546.html attached is the script.

Best of luck Adrian!!!]]> sgeorgiad@nospam.com (stantheman) Wed, 24 Feb 2010 18:59:49 -0700 http://igfdb.com/news.php?item.111.2 SMALL DAYS TO THE BIG SCREEN http://igfdb.com/news.php?item.110.2 Three names to watch...Timothy McNeil, Christopher Thornton and, oh well, you already know Mark Ruffalo. All three studied together at the world famous Stella Adler Academy in Los Angeles and now are burning up the big screen...The thoughtfully penned Sympathy for Delicious, written by Thornton, starred Himself and McNeil and was the directorial debut of Ruffalo at SUNDANCE this year. Winning a SPECIAL JURY AWARD is testament to the work, skill and pedigree of these three friends. Now, SMALL DAYS, originally a play that starred McNeil and Thornton and also directed by Ruffalo is also heading for the big screen in
July 2010 in Pasedena at the Action On Film Festival. McNeil, who who wrote the play and screenplay will reprise the lead role as Henry Smalls, with the supporting role of Earl being played by Stan Harrington who also directs...

Watch out for this thoughtful and intelligent story.
