Message-ID: <72F44B59-706B-409F-A5CD-8110D9899106@ballboy.net> To A3F Supporters, Can you believe it's been almost 4 months since the 4th Annual Almost Famous Film Festival 48 Hour Challenge concluded. What a night that was at AMC Theatres in downtown Phoenix! Sold-out crowd of 465 indie- film enthusiasts watching and cheering on the Top 20 teams. We had musicals, drama, comedies and even a film starring puppets! And it's tough to forget the after-party at 1130 The Restaurant which made for a great end to a season-long series of incredible film events. A lot has changed in the months that have passed. We applied and received our non-profit status from the state of Arizona and now are just waiting for our letter of recognition from the IRS. Our newly formed non-profit, A3F Incorporated, will be an integral part of the community with scholarships for film and writing students, workshops and seminars for film students and filmmakers, and eventually an A3F media center in 2010. We are truly excited to have the opportunity to give back to everyone who has supported us during the past 4 years. We realize thought that the staple of our festival is our timed challenges and we haven't forgotten those! ? We are hosting Arizona's first-ever 72 Hour Challenge October 10-13! Registration for this exciting new event opens July 1. ? Our 2nd Annual International Short Film Festival arrives in February 2009. Registration for short films 1-60 minutes is now open on the A3F site. ? Our 5th Annual 48 Hour Short Film Challenge kicks-off February 13-15, 2009 -- this is Arizona's largest and most successful 48 hour challenge! And we are introducing one of the most creative new events for the indie-film scene! ? The A3F Music Video Challenge launches July 1 and will be one of the coolest events around during our hot summer months! This is a challenge not to be missed! So as you can see, several new opportunities for you to gather your writers, actors and actresses, crew and gear and make some films! Also, the A3F has the lowest entry fees in town, almost half of other festivals, but we still give away more prizes, goodies, personal attention and fame than anyone else around. That's out mission statement -- to make you the filmmakers Almost Famous! Please check out a new blog on the A3F web site for more details on these exciting events and opportunities. http://www.thea3f.net/200706223316.php Sincerely, Jae Staats Almost Famous Film Festival http://www.thea3f.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
