Race to the Finish
July 10 from 4-8pm
Final Deadline for Cucalorus 13 Entries
Cucalorus announces a special film submission celebration, to be held on deadline day, with music, food and waived entry fees to local filmmakers who “race to the finish” with their work. Filmmakers may go to www.cucalorus.org to download an entry form which must accompany all submissions. Entries should be on DVD or VHS; any genre is welcomed. The “Race to the Finish” entry celebration will be held from 4:00 to 8:00 PM at Jengo’s Playhouse, home to the Festival’s offices, at 815 Princess Street. Cucalorus 13 will be held November 7 – 10, 2007.
Adding to the “Race to the Finish,” celebration, will be Wilmington musician Stephen Sellers performing music from his newly released CD, “Hello Love.” Free CDs will be offered to all filmmakers entering their film that day. Food and drinks will be served, and inside Jengo’s, people will be treated to a free screening of North Carolina films, selections from previous Cucalorus Film Fests.
As a special incentive during “Race to the Finish,” film submission entry fees of $40 will be waived to those who join the Cucalorus Film Foundation for $40. Foundation membership also provides discounts on festival passes, access to the full film and video library of previous festival films, newsletters and periodic e-mail announcements and invitations.
In 2006, out of the total films screened, some 25 percent were made by North Carolina filmmakers. “There is a lot of talent here and some great stories being told on film,” said Dan Brawley, festival director. “We want to see and screen that work, showing audiences how local filmmakers are using film to tell their stories.”
Brawley also comments that the festival isn’t limited to professional filmmakers only. Aspiring, new talent is equally welcomed. “While some of our submissions may be a bit raw, the stories they tell or the perspectives they share are entirely creative and exciting. We take pride in creating opportunities for artists to share their work.” The Cucalorus Film Festival is an ideal venue to discover new works as the festival explores the art of filmmaking in a friendly, non-competitive environment. Films are not judged, merely screened and shared. And filmmakers at all stages of their careers meet, mix and share experiences and opinions.
