1. Director's Ramblings
Welcome to the October 2007 edition of the Updoc Films Newsletter. Now that summer has come to an end and autumn is upon us, a whirlwind of activity has swept through through our Texas offices. New offerings from Kay Nettle, Devon Grey and Lindy Aleshire are coming online as I write this, a new section to the Updoc Films website called The Cinema is about ready to be unveiled to the world, and a host of exciting, up and coming film festivals are accepting new submissions from around the world. Enjoy the new features and stay tuned for more to come!
2. Current Feature Update
Updoc member and stop motion filmmaker extraordinare Kay Nettle released her latest Lego short film Transformation amongst the pandemonium of the 2007 Kinetoscopic Wonderment. Winning top prize during the festival, we're excited to be able to share her latest offering and hope that the film will have you screaming "I Love it!" as much we did. Click here to have a peak.
3. Welcome to The Cinema
For a few months now we've been working through a new design to help streamline video presenations on the Updoc Film website. With The Cinema going live on October 9th, we've done away with our previous habit of using numerous pop up video windows in order to play our short films. The staff here hopes that The Cinema will make navigating the Updoc Film database a more pleasant experience.
4. The Sonoma Valley Film Festival
The Sonoma Valley Film Festival announced today that it is currently accepting film entries for the 11th annual festival, taking place April 9 – 13, 2008, in the following categories: Feature, Documentary, Short Film and Animation. To learn more, visit the official website
5.The Vancouver Island Short Film Festival
Filmmakers have until December 1st to enter the third annual Vancouver Island Short Film Festival, a showcase of original films by local filmmakers. Last year’s festival was a huge success, with a sold out crowd enjoying seventeen incredible short films. For more information, email admin@visff.com
6.Behind The Scenes! A Students' Guide To University Chapter 2
Devon Grey recently sent us a sneak peak of his latest short film currently in production. He has been tight-lipped concerning the content of the short film, saying only that the film explores themes of brainwashing, manufacturing consent, technology and the hidden corproate agenda surrounding any University. Most of the staff here tend to agree that these images certainly follow along those lines, but are a little confused as to the role of the drill. Click here for the preview.
