We also have a huge event planed Friday October 14th, as a sort of Wild West Kick Off. Friday night, in South Park (Lawrence, KS) we will be screening The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Beetlejuice and Arachnophobia. In between each film we will be screening past Wild West films. So be sure to check it out. Flyer coming soon.
And finally, we are working on a Wild West Film Fest T.V. show for Chanel 6. Each episode will showcase past festival films and include behind the scenes look at the festival. We will make sure everyone knows when the show starts playing.

This Friday!

Hope everyone is ready for the 48 hour competition this weekend! We are getting things in place as we gear up for Fridays kick off. Remember, teams can pick up entry forms Friday October 23 from 7pm-10pm at Henry Coffee Shop on 8th Street or Hollywood at Home in Overland Park. Entry only cost $25 per team.

We’ve been contacted by a photographer who has a super cool project idea. Basically he wants to make posters for some of the projects. Here is what he sent us if your interested:

The idea behind making a film (even if it’s just for fun… And it always is) is to have people watch them and be moved in one way or another by what you as a filmmaker have created. So whether it’s a feature film or a 5 minute short, my job as a marketing Photographer and Designer is to enhance yours and your viewer’s cinematic experience.

What I do:
I show up to your set and quietly shoot with my Canon 5D Mark II. The production stills will be given to you (the filmmaker or team) on a CD for free. I, then, use your plot and the stills to make a real size, professional quality theatrical poster (also on a CD) and/or print out.

I will be at Henry’s along with the Filmworks gang. I’ll pass out Business Cards and have a chat with all of you.
