A great day with the Kid’s Filmmaking Workshop!

No Comments 27 May 2010

This past Saturday, the Oxford Film Festival’s Kid’s Filmmaking Workshop went off with flying colors.  The event was hosted by the Boys & Girls Club of Oxford, with many of their members taking part in the production, as well as non-members from the community.  The children worked with local filmmakers Nitin and Deepak Mantena, of Celery Studios, in the creation of a short film which will have it’s debut later this summer.  Everyone had a great time, and we look forward to doing this again soon!

The workshop was sponsored by OFF, Media & Documentary Projects, YAC, Papa John’s Pizza, The Downtown Oxford Inn, and Rock Star Taxi & Limo.

Fun at the Filmmaking Workshop!

The Oxford Film Festival staff congratulates filmmaker Paige Williams for her documentary Mississippi Queen’s recent deal for digital distribution through Cinetic Rights Management FilmBuff.

Williams recently took part in the “speed-pitch” panel at Oxford Film Festival in February where she had the chance to meet with Cinetic Rights Management representative Steve Beckman.

“The Oxford Film Fest is charming, charismatic and connected. A perfect combo for bringing a small film into major light,” Paige Williams said.

After screening the film in Oxford, Cinematical’s Todd Gilchrist called it :
“…a surprisingly intimate and thoughtful portrait of one woman’s efforts to investigate and understand that intolerance, and her attempt to reconcile her lifestyle with loved ones who still haven’t come to terms with the fact that it isn’t merely a “choice.”

“The festival is proud to be able to continue a tradition of providing opportunities for filmmakers to connect with industry professionals such as Cinetic Rights Management,” OFF Executive Director Molly Fergusson said.
