Goin' to Sundance
The 2005 Sundance Film Festival is January 20 - 30 in Park City, Utah (a picturesque hamlet in the Wasatch Mountains between Provo and Salt Lake City). This year, I'll be going for the full ten days with Alec Hart. Several MCC students, including Mike Montesa, Brandon Marsala, and Mike Luciano will be going for some portion of it.
This creates a bit of a challenge because the first meeting of the Phoenix Final Cut Pro Users Group meets on the 28th. Several of us won't be able to attend. As for potential speakers, the writer/director/editor of The Falls, Paul DeNigris might be a possibility. He edited his film on FCP (I think) and did a lot of AfterEffects work.

RE-Mark Your Calendars, Tell Your Friends
Kohl Glass • Monday, December 13, 2004 @ 7PM
Kohl Glass will give a lecture in AC3S on Independent Film Production and the Festival Circuit. As many of you know, Kohl's film, The Promethean has been selected for a number of film festivals and has won several awards (for the film and the actors). His new animated film, DerOstwind is nearing completion and will surely make the festival circuit again. Kohl has insights to share on short filmmaking, getting into festivals and what that means to your career. He's also going to talk about feature film production. While at BYU, Kohl and Chris (his wife), worked on a number of independent features. The producer, director and editor of Napolean Dynamite were at BYU at the same time as Kohl. (He worked on the production of the "extra scene".) He'll share insights on their experiences as well. This talk is the bullet-point list of getting the job done!
Travis Cline • Spring 2005
We are currently in negotiations to get Travis Cline to come to MCC and give a Cinematography Workshop. Travis shoots on film and digital formats. He shot The Promethean, Pride & Prejudice and Avernus. We're looking at a late February date. The workshop will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Watch the MCC Film Blog and CyndiGreening.Com for more information.
Friday, January 28 • Phoenix Final Cut Pro Users Group
Friday?!? Holy cow, Ben ... could you have picked a more challenging night to fill the room. Okay, everyone, beat the bushes and find your friends ... get to the Chandler Apple Store for the FIRST PFCPUG Meeting ... (Looks like Private First Class Pug).
