@SDFilmFestival

a media partner since the first year, the 8th annual SAN DIEGO FILM FESTIVAL is going on RIGHT NOW !

the foundation (ROBIN) does a tremendous job with the event, it’s been a pleasure watching SDFF grow (over the years.)

this evening (between 6 - 8 p.m.,) i will be emceeing a screening of JESSE’s STORY at the gaslamp theatre.

from the SDFF website:

Jesse’s Story chronicles the life of Jesse Billauer, a gifted, multi-sport athlete, who developed into an up-and-coming professional surfer with unlimited promise.

This is not a surf film, but rather one of inspiration. A tale of a young man who in a tragic surfing accident at the age of 17 severed his spinal cord, and now lives life as a quadriplegic, this is THE story of how his life changed forever.

* ‘WINNER’ Best Documentary, Audience & Jury Award - Malibu Film Festival
* Features World Champion surfers Kelly Slater & Rob Machado
* Jack Johnson, Ben Harper
* and, CHRISTOPHER REEVE.

TOMORROW (between 4:30 - 6,) THE GREEN ROOM will be featured in the FILM ROCKS! MUSIC VIDEO SERIES at the gaslamp theatre.

from the SDFF website:

“Film Rocks” underscores the synergy between movies and music. Through musically-inspired short films and music videos, “Film Rocks” celebrates the evolving and symbiotic relationship between these two powerful art forms.

in addition to THE GREEN ROOM, i am especially excited to see the following san diego-based DIRECTORS and their projects (national acts,) on the “big screen” :

Death Cab for Cutie - Little Bribes from Ross Ching on Vimeo.

Two Weeks - Grizzly Bear from Gabe Askew on Vimeo.

and,

Crocodiles - Refuse Angels from christin turner on Vimeo.
