[ballboy-announce] Introducing the A3F Indie Club!

[BallBoy Announce List for PR, Events]

The Almost Famous Film Festival is pleased to announce 3 new Sponsors  
and the inception of the A3F Indie Club!

As part of the growing community of A3F filmmakers, you are now  
entitled to special discounts through various local and national  
companies.  The goal of the A3F has always been to make its  
filmmakers Almost Famous ... and this new promotion will surely help!

How does it work?  Simple.  Need a box of mini-dv tapes?  Looking to  
buy a new DV or HDV camcorder?  Have a shoot this weekend and need a  
second camera or an extra mic or lighting kit?  Want to brush up on  
your filmmaking skills by reading some tips and trade secrets from a  
filmmaking book?  The A3F Indie Club has you covered!

We are proud to introduce Peak Media, www.peakmediainc.com, for all  
of your audio, video and filmmaking needs.  From tape supplies, to A/ 
V equipment, to lighting and displays ... Peak Media is the place to  
shop. Peak Media is based in Tempe, Arizona with an online ordering  
system and convenient shipping to your home or office.

Peak Media is offering anyone associated with the A3F competitive  
pricing on all their audio/video needs. Just call 480.626.8943 or  
email Matt Smiley and tell him the A3F sent you! This is a great way  
to support a local company while also receiving outstanding service.  
(discounts based on availability and discretion of Peak Media).

We are excited to have Audio Video Resources back for a third  
straight year, www.avr-inc.com.  AVR Broadcast Rental Department is  
stocked with hundreds of items you'll need to make your production  
the very best. Plus, they have experienced people to help you make  
your selection.  Need the new P2 camera?  They have it!  Wish you had  
another lens or a professional lighting package to push your shoot  
over the top?  Just call AVR!

AVR Rentals is offering a 15% percent discount of all rental  
equipment for anyone who mentions they are a part of the A3F Indie  
Club! Simply call 602.643.4261 or email Morgon Lawrence and mention  
the A3F and you will walk away with some extra money in your pocket!  
And AVR Rentals is generously donating two $300 camera rental  
packages as prizes for this year's A3F winning teams!  (based on  
availability and discretion of AVR staff).

And the A3F welcomes back O'Reilly Digital Media for a second year as  
a sponsor.  Last year, O'Reilly donated 35 dv filmmaking books to  
those who attended the workshop and registered for the A3F.  Well,  
O'Reilly truly outdid themselves this year as they are giving away 40  
books and manuals covering various filmmaking tips, topics and trade  
secrets to help improve your next production.  Attend any A3F  
workshop, register your team for the short film challenge and receive  
a free filmmaking book with a value of over $30!

Traditional media, such as photography, music, graphic arts, TV, and  
video, are converging with computer technologies. O'Reilly Digital  
Media site applies our expertise in computer technology to the  
rapidly changing world of creative media. Our audio articles and  
weblogs, for example, are written by experts who are both musicians  
and technologists. This provides you with more depth and breadth than  
you'll find from many other sources online.

Please support these local and national companies as their generous  
donations to the A3F help make this festival a success!

Sincerely, Jae
BallBoy Productions
