Hi All,

Here is an email I just got from Miss. Amy Bronson. She is a student film maker up at the U. She made a short film called "Backstroke" last year and I got to be a part of it. Niki Nielsen and Aimee Walden are the stars. I am the angry dad... Linda Eyring is the shrink (Doctor). I can't spell psychiatrist.

Well Amy has been submitting it all over. Here a few messages Amy has sent me over the last few weeks. The last one was today.

"Backstroke will premiere at "NewFest 2007" - New York City's LGBT film fest. The fest runs from May 31 to June 10. NewFest is pretty established (it's in its 19th year)..."


"Backstroke was just selected to screen at the Pride Film
Festival (aka the "'Damn These Heels' GLBT film festival") in Salt
Lake, from May 31 to June 3rd at the tower theater." Backstroke shows on June 1st.


Today Amy Bronson wrote:

Congratulations,

Your short film BACKSTROKE has been selected as part of the 2007 Fear
No Film
Festival program. CONGRATULATIONS!

Fear No Film is the short film component of the much larger Utah Arts
Festival
. Over 80,000 people will attend the festival, with works in
all mediums celebrated from Thursday, June 21st through Sunday, June
24th. The UAF closes down one of the most beautiful sections of Salt
Lake City which includes the City and County Building and Library
Square, SLC's new, multiple-award winning architectural jewel.




Fear No Film screenings take place in the City Library's main
auditorium. Because the theater is located INSIDE the library, all
Fear No Film screenings are free and open to the public, regardless of
entry into the remainder of the UAF. (SEND ALL YOUR FAMILY AND
FRIENDS! YOU JUST MADE THE UTAH ARTS FESTIVAL!)

Your movie will screen twice as part of one of the following screenings:

I WILL NOT FEAR FILMS THAT MAKE ME FEEL:

DIVIDED
EMPTY
HAPPY (rated PG)
HAPPY (rated R)
REORIENTED
SPECTATED
SUBCULTURED
UNSETTLED
UTAH SHORT FILM of the YEAR COMPETITION

Filmmakers in attendance will be invited to participate in a brief Q&A
after their screening.

More information will follow in the coming week, including screening
category and screening times, and where you can receive 2 VIP passes
to the entire Utah Arts Festival. Please feel free to email me with
any questions.

Congratulations once again,

Topher at Fear No Film

That's three festivals in just a few weeks!

See Ya,
Bill
