Greetings once again:

Last week we sent you a video interview with State Senator Heath Mello ( Omaha ) as he explained the positives that more film projects can bring to Nebraska ’s economy. Today, the Omaha World Herald published a story in which another member of the Legislature, State Senator Colby Coash (Lincoln), climbs aboard to advocate for state film incentives for film makers.

Coash, who is also a local actor, just wrapped filming on a production entitled “The Summer Before”. Senator Coash plans to carry his experience into the Nebraska Legislature next year when he joins the fight to bring film incentives to the state (link to story below):

Editor's Note: This article is part of a series titled Nebraska Film: An Exploration of the Growing Community. Learn more about the goals of this series and find links to its articles in our announcement: Nebraska Film series starts Monday, August 9.

The onset of digital photography has allowed the film industry to gain independence over the past several years, giving amateur and even professional filmmakers an easier outlet to make films.

Film festivals from around the country, such as Utah’s Sundance Film Festival and Texas' Austin Film Festival, were formed to harness this independence.

After three friends – Marc Longbrake, Jeremy Decker and Jason Levering – journeyed to a festival in Kearney, Nebraska, Omaha joined the lineup of film festivals focused on showcasing independent talent from near and far.

Celebrating its 12th year, the Newport Beach Film Festival announces its call for entries!

The 2011 Newport Beach Film Festival will spotlight over 300 films from around the world, including feature length narrative, documentary, short, animated and student films that will compete for a series of Jury, Festival Honors and Audience Awards.
In addition to film screenings, the Festival hosts premiere galas, an industry seminar series, and question and answer sessions with filmmakers.

The Newport Beach Film Festival was named one of the “25 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee” by Movie Maker Magazine.

The Festival runs from April 28th to May 5th, 2011.

NOW OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS.

Summer 2010
In 1993 Mary Riepma Ross made a generous $3,600,000 gift to the University of Nebraska Foundation to support the construction of the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center. Mrs. Ross, an alumna of UNL and movie lover, was on hand for the 2002 dedication of The Ross and continues to support the activities of The Ross even today. On October 1, 2010, Mrs. Ross will turn 100 years old.

To help Mrs. Ross celebrate this milestone in her life, we would like to surprise her with birthday wishes on behalf of the many friends and supporters who enjoy the wonderful films shown at the Ross. Our goal is to present her with 100 birthday greetings, and we invite you to join us in that effort.

Please write a note to Mrs. Ross expressing the impact that The Ross has had on you personally, on the University of Nebraska, and on the community.
