7th Annual

Prescott Film FestivalJuly 17-24, 2016

“…supporting independent and critically acclaimed films and filmmakers….”

We are celebrating our 7th annual festival this year and are THRILLED with the lineup of fantastic films and workshops! Each year we have grown and changed a bit, all the while keeping our mission at the forefront of what we do. We continue to present amazing “movies that move you” and “entertain, inspire and inform.”

Our films are unique, fun, fascinating, inspiring and many bring us a true sense of gratitude for living in (or having a chance to visit) the Central Arizona Highlands we call home.

This year, thanks to the Yavapai College Film and Media Arts Program, an impressive slate of workshops will be held during PFF. These are fantastic offerings for new and experienced filmmakers, movie geeks and lovers of the art form! This is a chance to meet professionals in the industry, hear about their experiences and perhaps, through these workshops, take craft and/or enjoyment and appreciation of film to the next level. There will be a representative from RED Cinema camera giving a demo, a professional animation editor, an award winning sound designer and editor, a film preservationist, a film financer, (yeah; a “money guy!”) two screenwriting workshops and several successful indie filmmakers. These will all be “don’t miss” FREE workshops!

This year’s fest kicks off with a special “Film Noir and Pinot Noir” wine tasting. The noir film is The Lady from Shanghai starring Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth. Our special guest? Beatrice Welles, daughter of Orson Welles. We will have a special screening on the National Day of the Cowboy, July 23rd. Additionally we will have quirky unique films, and a fantastic slate of shorts for your enjoyment!

The Prescott Film Festival would not be possible without the help of our generous sponsors, grantors and volunteers. Please thank a volunteer when you have a chance. And take note of the sponsors and grantors in this program guide and on the “big screen” in our theatres. When you see them or frequent their businesses, please tell them you appreciate their support of the Prescott Film Festival.

Have a wonderful festival experience and thank YOU for your support!

WorkshopsPresented by the Yavapai College Film & Media Arts ProgramAll workshops are free and will be held in building 3, room 119

Film PreservationMonday, July 18, 5:00 – 6:00 pmPresenter: Bob O’Neil

In the history of motion picture cinema and television there have been many chal-lenges in preserving and restoring titles from the past (film) as well as the future (digital). Technical issues like obsolete formats and deteriorating media are part of the obstacles in working with an old library. Bob O’Neil takes us on a journey through the film vaults and the fascinating process that results in the preservation of our film heritage.Bob O’Neil worked at Universal Studios for nearly 40 years, retired, and recently moved to Prescott. He spent the final 25 years of his career doing analogue film preservation, restoration, and asset management on such titles as Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein, All Quiet On the Western Front, To Kill A Mockingbird, Double Indemnity, Psycho, and Rear Window.

Planting the Seed of your Film: Writing an Effective Log LineTuesday, July 19, 3:30 – 4:30 pmPresenter: Jeff Wood

A clear, concise, and compelling log line is to your completed story what the seed is to a mighty tree: It contains the potential and the necessary information to grow straight, tall, and tower above the rest. In this hands-on work-shop, we will discuss what a log line is (and isn’t),

what the essential elements are, and how to craft one of your own. No experience is required. Participants will leave the seminar with one log line with a story begging to be written from it! Jeff Wood is the Screenwriting Instructor for the Film and Media Arts program at Yavapai College.

Micro and Macro Film FinancingTuesday, July 19, 5:00 – 6:00 pmPresenter: Larry Sakin

Larry will explore the sublime outlets and dirty secrets for funding your project. Larry believes, “Financing is among the greatest challenges facing filmmakers today. In an uncertain economy that stymies masters of the craft, how do innovative filmmakers find the money to complete their vision?” Larry Sakin has been in the entertain-ment industry for thirty-six years. Most recently, he was the Executive Producer for the interna-tionally acclaimed documentary Being George Clooney, and is serving as Executive Producer for a documentary on global climate change.

Storytelling, the Humanities and FilmmakingSunday, July 24, 1:00 – 2:00 pm COMMUNITY ROOMPresenter: Dr. Suzanne Waldenberger

Martin Scorsese says, "Young people need to understand that not all imag-es are out there to be consumed like, you know, fast food and then for-gotten. We need to educate them to understand the difference between moving images that engage their humanity and their intelligence, and moving images that are just selling them something.”Join Dr. Suzanne Waldenberger as she discusses the importance of sto-rytelling and how storytelling engages the humanities in strong screenplays. The workshop is presented in part by AZ Humanities.

Invisible Art/Invisible ArtistThursday, July 21, 2:30 pm – 3:30 pmPresenter: Tom Finan

The editor is often the unsung hero of the film world. Editors get to tell the story of a film and their contribution is essential to the final product of a theatrical, television and animated feature film. Tom will discuss the physical workflow necessary to create what we finally watch at home on our television or in the theater. Learn more about how editors contribute to the art, craft and technology of filmmaking.Tom Finan has worked for over 4 decades as an editor in television and film. His credits include The Lion King, Platoon, Hercules and Stuart Little, among many others.

RED Camera DemoFriday, July 22, 11:30 am – 12:30 pmPresenter: Colin Glenn

RED Digital Cinema was founded in 2005 by Jim Jannard, who had previously founded Oakley. The company started with a small group of entrepre-neurs in a warehouse who wanted to build afford-able, high-end digital video cameras and believed

that 4K video was the future of digital image capture. The RED One was arguably the first affordable camera that provided filmmak-ers customizable features and out-of-the-box functionality with the “feature film quality” known to much more expensive 35mm film. Films shot on RED include The Martian, Straight Outta Compton, Jurastic World, Avatar 2, Transformers: The Last Knight, Pirates of the Caribbean. TV programs include House of Cards, Better Call Saul, The Man in the High Castle and Game of Thrones. Need we say more? Yes we do! The Yavapai College Film and Media Arts Program will be accept-ing delivery of two RED cameras in the fall. Come see a demo of this amaz-ing camera by Colin Glenn, Road Warrior, RED Digital Cinema.
