Big Screen Showcase

Hello Everyone:

The Young Media Makers 9th Annual Big Screen Showcase is at College of the Redwoods this Saturday, May 30th. All media makers, friends, families and movie fans are invited. The Admission for this powerful show is free and doors open at 12:30p.m. Showtime 1 p.m. Come early to enjoy the pre-show reel and stay for the awards ceremony and a reception with the filmmakers that is immediately following the Showcase.

Big Screen Showcase is proud to announce that our keynote speaker is David Scheerer, Director-Producer and Professor of Film at the Humboldt State University Department of Theater, Film and Dance. Professor Scheerer is opening our Showcase with a presentation on The Digital Future in Humboldt County.

If that is not sweet enough Big Screen Showcase will also announce its new program The Young Media Makers Work Project. It’s a form of community service that exemplary young media makers can’t refuse. To help launch the new TYMM program we will be offering sign – ups and showing a TYMM Work Project PSA shot this winter for Food For People by Dominick Roney. Dominick is a three-time participant in Big Screen Showcase. Food For People enjoyed Nick’s PSA so much that they have kindly offered to partner with Big Screen Showcase. FFP representatives will be on hand to encourage those who have to be generous! In this bumpy economy even those of us that were “all good” question the stability of the future. So reach out if you need to and lend a hand if you can. We are a community ! That may mean only two hours a week packing bags at the FFP location in Eureka. If you can swing it make a donation. There will be a food collection barrel at the Big Screen Showcase. Bring bags of dry food or cans to the Big Screen Showcase. Be creative.


We aim to inspire !


Sincerely,
Barbara
