Sundial Film Festival – Call to Action July 7, 2010

Dates selected for Sundial Film Festival 2011

The 3rd Annual Sundial Film Festival dates have been selected.  Mark your calendars for March 18 & 19th, 2011.  The venue will once again be the beautifully restored 1930′s Cascade Theatre in Redding, CA.  

We need your help in getting the word out.  We need film makers, photographers, and attendees!  Spread the word about the 2011 Sundial Film Festival to everyone who is breathing! 

You can also “like” us on Facebook by clicking here.  And click here to follow us on Twitter.  These are the places you can be kept up to speed on what is happening. 

 

 Movies span a wide subject range and can include anything from animation to thrillers to adventure sports.  Length is typically up to 40 minutes long.  And don’t forget about the still photography competition which is some attendees favorite aspect of the event.  The photos have been amazing and are on display at the Cascade Theatre throughout the event – 15 are chosen via judges to be framed and hung while many others are shown on large screens throughout the theatre including in the theatre itself during intermissions.  It’s pretty cool to see your still photos on the big screen, just like it is your movies!And remember that you can vote for the People’s Choice Award for your favorite movie and photograph.  Like American Idol, your vote counts here.  I was shocked but thrilled to win this award for “Flying D Dog” the first year – my crazy German wired hair pointer flying through the air in snow at Castle Craggs.  The festival will be successful with your help.  Tell your friends and family to mark the dates on their calendar now.  And tell them to tell their friends!! 


One thing the Sundial Film Festival wants very much to do is to encourage local talent (as well as folks who are not local to the Northstate) to submit their movies.  We are even planning a ONE MINUTE MOVIE option – so put your thinking caps on and make one to submit – it’ll be so intriguing to see what people can do in a one minute movie!!   Everyone has at least one or ten 1 minute movies in their heads, right?

Oh, I must share this photo I took “on the fly” at this year’s event.  It is of Tiger Michiels and myself.  Little did I know when I snapped this crazy picture it would be of the two first People’s Choice Award winners (2009 and 2010).  Within hours of this, Tiger won the “PCA” for his splendid photo of a cat and mouse.  You should see it!

Thank you!!  On behalf of the Sundial Film Festival committee, we thank you for helping us spread the word about this fantabulous event.  And see you there in March, 2011 at the Cascade Theatre in Redding on the 18th and 19th. 

Please tell your friends and ask them to tell their friends.  I’m looking at YOU.  Yes, YOU!  YOU can make an impact here on this event in doing so.  We’re wanting everyone interested to jump on board so that there is an impressive attendance in March, 2011.  It won’t happen if we stay quiet.  Be assertive on this!!  Together we can make the film festival rock!!

For all goings on, check out the new Sundial Film Festival’s website by clicking here.  Updates will continue to be made.  That’s where you go to enter your films and photographs.
