Homegrown Music VIDEO festival is BACK and this year we are giving you TWO WEEKS to create your masterpiece.
Kick-off is 8pm (SHARP!) on April 15 at Hell Burgers. Show up on time to draw your song from a beautiful top hat. You’ll have two weeks to create a music video from the randomly assigned song. Filmmakers of all ages are welcome and all filmmakers who turn in a finished DVD will receive a free pass to Homegrown. You may use previously shot footage but you can’t change the song in any way. Finished videos will be shown during Homegrown week.
E-mail Annie Dugan (annie at freerangefilm.com) if you are interested in participating or have any questions.
Tuesday, 7pm
Beaner’s Tuesday Film Night will feature “Urban Explorers” this week. The documentary, by Melody Gilbert, gives us a glimpse into an international subculture of fearless thrill-seekers who lurk beneath city streets and venture into long-abandoned buildings, defiantly searching for unseen treasures of modern civilization.
Get out of the house and join us for a free movie in a relaxing environment!
Beaner's film night - NOV 10 at 6:30pm
Sorry for the short notice, but Erin Hudson‘s work will be screening at Beaner’s on Nov. 10 at 6:30 p.m.
Erin is a documentary filmmaker who is concerned, committed, and passionate about storytelling. Her films give voice to the people we sometimes miss in the frenzied blur of 21st century society – the life of a female trucker, the vision of a rural photographer, or the quiet dignity of getting old.
