Sunscreen Film Festival schedule is announced
Sunscreen Film Festival Executive Director Tony Armer announced in a recent news release that the schedule for the March 19-22 event has been posted on the festival's website.
Armer said that this is the biggest festival to date with 73 films being screened.
I'm looking forward to Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation, a remake of Indiana Jones' first adventure started by three Mississippi boys ages 11, 12, and 13, and finally finished seven years later. Spielberg himself loved it, and now Sunscreen audiences have a chance to see why.
More from the Sunscreen news release: The festival will show 15 films made in Florida and five others by Floridians now working out of the state.
There are two workshops -- on screenwriting and auditioning actors -- on the schedule.
Screenwriters will have the opportunity to get some pointers from an impressive panel of experts: action flick writer, Steven DeSouza (Commando, Die Hard), author Karl Iglesias (The 101 Habits of Highly Successful Screenwriters and Writing for Emotional Impact), and academy award nominee Timothy J. Sexton (Children of Men). The 90-minute symposium takes place Friday, March 21 at 4 pm, free to the general public.
