Hello,

I have been involved in this group since its beginning, and have found a lot of great resources here!

I work at UNL in the Pesticide Education Office and each year we do video projects to help train pesticide applicators on different topics. Many of these we do in dramatization form and are seeking actors! A few years ago I had a project that I posted here and got a lot of great response!

There will be projects coming down the pike this year and I am looking to establish a list of potential actors. I have started a group on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/groups/295888337130814/ as a one stop shop for updates about upcoming projects. I also maintain an email list for those who may not have Facebook.

NEBRASKA FILM ASSOCIATION
NEBRASKA FILMMAKER NETWORKING SOCIAL
January 4th
5pm - 7pm
Fox and Hound (120th and Dodge)

WHAT:
On behalf of the Nebraska Film Association, I would like to announce that starting in 2012, we will be hosting Monthly Networking Socials.

WHY:
In an effort to connect, collaborate, and continue to build a strong film community in Nebraska, it is important that there is a place for people who enjoy the filmmaking process to come together…from
corporate commercials to full feature movie productions! We hope that by having regularly scheduled networking socials, we always have a
place to meet like-minded people and create some productive synergy.

WHO:
These networking events are open to anyone – from the veteran who has been working in the business for decades, to the up-and-coming talent
who is just starting to make some connections.

WHEN:

Shop for a good cause ALL DAY on December 6th at Whole Foods Omaha. 5% of the days sales goes to Growing Cities, a sustainable farming film by two young Omahans. All you have to do is shop and you can support two young filmmakers, good food activists, and sustainable agriculture! http://www.facebook.com/events/217250535013270/

Hello. I'm the lead singer in a local hard rock/ alternative metal group in Omaha called Vitosus. We have music to offer to those producing any sort of independent film, documentary, soundtrack etc. We just recorded a 5 song EP entitled 'Conflicted' that was produced and mixed by former Stone Sour producer Tom Tatman at Catamount Studios in Cedar Falls, IA. Our tracks are available online via iTunes, Amazon mp3, and CD Baby. If you'd like to hear a sample, a few of our songs are available on our websites. www.facebook.com/vitosus or www.reverbnation.com/vitosus

If you think you'd be interested in using a track or several, don't hesitate to contact us at vitosus@live.com.
All we'd ask is that you list us in your credits stating band, song played, and our album.

I have great respect for those that are out there trying to create something artistic, and if I can help by offering music to those who might need it then it's a win-win for everybody.

The Omaha Film Festival is proud to announce a screening of the amazing documentary "New York Says Thank You"

The film features scouts from the Little Sioux Boy Scout Ranch that was devastated by a tornado in 2008. Come and be inspired by this incredible film and share the evening with many of the scouts that were there.

Synopsis:

In 2003, a five-year-old New York child had an idea to help children he'd never met. That spirit of generosity inspired New Yorkers to drive cross country to donate toys and other goods to families affected by disastrous wildfires in Southern California—a cathartic way of giving back to their fellow citizens the same kind of extraordinary compassion and support they themselves received after 9/11....

HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940; 92 minutes)
Thursday, July 14

Friends,
Last night at the Independent Vision Awards in New York City we won five major awards for THE CASSEROLE CLUB including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Kevin Richardson, Best Actress for Susan Traylor, and Best Production Design.
We managed to break the film festival’s record for most wins ever by a single film, coincidentally held by FIRECRACKER, my earlier film, and Nyle Cavazos Garcia’s 2004 drama, CLEAN.
Festival co-director, Frank Lewallen, described the film as “an amazing motion picture... looks like it was made for millions of bucks.” We can’t wait for you all to see it!
Let’s do it again!

Be SCARED SILLY on Friday, June 10th at the historic Joyo Theatre!

In the tradition of "Creepshow" comes an all-new terrifying anthology in the B-movie vein! Come on down and celebrate the release of the film along side ALL 3 OF THE FILM'S LOCAL DIRECTORS: Dustin (Terror at Black Tree Forest) Ferguson, Dorothy (Wake The Witch) Booraem and Karis (Strip Poker) Yanike.

ADMISSION IS $1, AND DVDS WILL BE AVAILABLE AFTER THE SHOW FOR $5!

ALL PROCEEDS GO DIRECTLY TO THE FILMMAKERS!

BYOB (yes you can get your drink on), MUST BE 17 OR WITH AN ADULT!

SHOW STARTS RIGHT AT 9:30, SO ARRIVE A BIT EARLY FOR GOOD SEATS!

WHAT SCARES YOU??.....DJ Raven wants to know.

www.thedeadhour.com

The Dead Hour is an online web series that follows the trends of The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Tales from the Crypt, etc. Each new episode is introduced by DJ Raven, a dark and sultry late night radio host who warns her listeners about the spooky and bizarre nature of the story they are about to hear (which then dissolves into the visual depiction for the online viewers). Each episode is approx. 14-17 minutes long and involves local cast, crew, and locations.

As The Dead Hour continues to gain momentum, Magnum Pictures and Skyline Entertainment are excited to involve the Omaha/Lincoln and surrounding communities and hold this public event that welcomes people to learn more, meet the cast and crew, have a chance to get in front of the camera and get involved.

Plan to attend this unique and exciting event on Friday, May 13th!

-Meet the cast and crew of Seasons 1 and 2!
-Network with local filmmakers!

After a period of silence it's time to fill you in on what is happening with THE BOARDER movie...

By early November, 2010, 120 of 130 scenes had been shot. Thanks to the cooperation of fantastic Ravenna, Ne, and the dedicated cast and crew, we flew through all those beautiful, complicated scenes... yet another miracle! In hindsight, it's easy to see why every day was long and jam-packed with “Action!” and tedious details.

Before the movie's final scenes were filmed, I decided it was time to get to 'The Boarder' documentary that will accompany the film and appear in the Special Features on the final DVD. With a hearty thanks to Exec. Director Julie Beem of the Attachment & Trauma Network (ATN), a National parent's support group, I had the pleasure of working with many parents and therapists who still live or work in the trenches with traumatized children like “Carl,” played by the incredible Andy Scott Harris, the troubled boy in THE BOARDER.

Free and open to the public.
The screening will feature short films made by students in the Lincoln Public School's ITFP and ARTS & HUMANITIES Focus Programs.
