"Filmmakers Gabriel Barboza and Jose Sauceda have begun their cross-country treck in an unprecedente grassroots effort to spread the word about the new movie Green Eyed Monster and the $10,000 contest built into it.."

"A group of short film reviews from Show Off Your Shorts Film Fest '08"

"This weekend, I spent my days at the Chaplain Theater in the Raleigh Studios checking out the 2nd Annual Show Off Your Short Film Festival... This year’s film festival of shorts showcased a good range of noteworthy films..."

"Four films were featured at the Omaha Film Festival in the category of Short Documentary. The small number did not deter from the quality in any way. All four of these films were stellar..."

"If you ask someone from the east or west coasts to point out Omaha on a map, they’d be hard pressed to find it... They might be surprised to find that Omaha has a thriving and growing Arts Community. Artists, writers, musicians, poets, and yes, filmmakers, make their home right here, in the Heartland of America..."

"Have you ever encountered someone less fortunate on the street and wondered, 'How did they get into such a situation?' In the film NOBODY, we see the journey of Jerry Bell, a man who walked away from his normal life in search of something simpler..."

"Only in Oxford will you find a rich tableau of local grass-roots documentaries showing in the same theatres as Lisa Kudrow or Ellen Burstyn’s latest foray.  The Oxford Film Festival may never grow into a Sundance or AFI, but it is our little Cannes, and we adore it!..."

And on the other, there’s the smaller, more intimate festivals where there’s perhaps less glamour and hype but quality programming nonetheless (which to me, is what it’s really all about), not to mention the opportunity to speak one-on-one with people associated with the festival- a perk I’ve learned is invaluable..."

Atlanta Jewish Film Fest - Pt. 2

"No true film festival is complete without a shorts program.  Given that it occurred Sunday morning after yet another surprising night of snow and sleet, I was not only thrilled to be there because I love a good shorts program, I was thrilled to make it there alive.  Showing again the devotion of the audience to this festival, though there were hardly any cars on the roads, the theatre was quite full and, thankfully, warm..."

Atlanta Jewish Film Fest - Pt. 1

"The 8th annual Atlanta Jewish Film Festival (AJFF) arrived on the day of the first snow of the season in a city that, well, isn’t exactly used to or prepared for snow. The fact that a large theatre-packing audience braved the elements to attend the opening ceremonies is a testament to the devotion of the audience to this festival..."
