CELEBRATING 5TH YEAR OF GIVE ME 5 TEEN FILM FESTIVAL

Rhode Island State Council on the Arts Education Program, in conjunction with the Rhode Island Film and Television Office, announce the fifth annual GiveMe5 Teen Film Festival, to be held Saturday, May 18, from 12:30-5PM at the Columbus Theatre, 270 Broadway, Providence. GiveMe5 is free and open to the public. Additional sponsors coming together to support the future filmmakers and film industry of Rhode Island include: URI's Harrington School of Communication and Media; Flickers: Rhode Island International Film Festival, and the Rhode Island Film Collaborative.

Teen filmmakers from around Rhode Island will showcase and discuss their 5-minute(or less) films, and receive feedback from a professional panel. Featured films this year have been selected from students at: Beacon Charter School (Woonsocket), Bishop Hendricken High School (Warwick), Everett Company (Providence), LaSalle Academy (Providence), Metropolitan Career & Technical Center (Providence), Portsmouth High School, Trinity Academy for the Performing Arts (Providence), and Westerly High School.

This year's discussion panel will include Steven Feinberg (Director of the RI Film and Television Office in the Rhode Island Department of Administration); Rob Gray (Screen Actors' Guild); Josephine Sittenfeld (RISD faculty); and Alex Watrous (former GiveMe5 participant and now of Watrous Brothers Productions).

"The future of the rapidly expanding film, television, and new media industry in our Ocean State is related to growing young filmmakers in our education system," says Steven Feinberg of Rhode Island Film & TV Office. "When I was a child, I was fortunate that my father was a 6th grade teacher because he had the insight to see my early interest in moviemaking. He and my Mom nurtured my passion and encouraged me to learn as much as I could. With each experience I fell more in love with film, and it became my life's work and passion. Working in film and technology is a natural for most kids today, and we have a responsibility to educate them about the art of filmmaking and how they can achieve quality work in this innovative industry."

"Young people today are inundated with images about them but not by them" says Sherilyn Brown, Education Director of the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts. "Media education is an important part of helping teens to think using the art form of film, while they gain skills and knowledge applicable to the fast-growing creative industries nationally and internationally.
The purpose of GiveMe5 is to network and grow media education programs statewide. GiveMe5 also sponsors an annual Teen Film Lab (Make-a-Minute Movie Challenge)in March and a Media Teachers Lab in October.

For more info on GiveMe5, call 222-6994, Monday-Friday, 8:30-4:30 or visit us at the GiveMe5 website: http://www.giveme5ri.org.

LOCAL FILMMAKER TO SHOOT NEW DRAMATIC COP WEB-SERIES IN MASS AND R.I.

Filmmaker Joseph A. Conforti, whose father was a Boston detective, is gearing up to produce a Boston-based dramatic cop web-series. He's kicked off his crowd-funding campaign with Rockethub.com, and plans to raise $50,000., for an initial twenty-two minute pilot, followed by twenty-four webisodes. Conforti's cast boasts veteran actors Tom Kemp, Bobby Wahlberg, Tony V., Marc Macaulay and Raymond Forchion. Principal casting and crew-hiring will continue in Boston.

The series called In Plain View, was inspired by the real life execution-murder of a Boston police officer. The fictional story centers on the dead cop's former partner, ex-Boston Police detective Butchie Wells and his dangerous search for the killers. Lead actor and Milton. MA resident Tom Kemp is slated to play Wells.

Planning on using locations in R.I. (standing-in for Boston,) Conforti says "Shooting in R.I. can make a filmmaker's life much easier." He's also planning to bring aboard "a good number" of R.I. actors and production personnel. How many jobs we can provide is all dependent on the success of the crowd-funding campaign. We will shoot to what budget we make. I'm trying to make this as "home-grown" as possible, but the production size will be driven by the amount of donations. It's the nature of crowd-funding," Conforti said.

For more information on In Plain View or to schedule an interview with Conforti, contact: inplainviewseries@gmail.com Attn; Joe Conforti

ELEVATORS:

The RIFC's upcoming elevator-based film (to be directed by Pam Severns) is still accepting applicants for Production Manager. If you think you have what it takes to serve in this vital role and gain valuable experience running a production, shoot an email to productions@rifcfilms.com and state your case.

or maybe you want to go full-on Fraggle Rock. Doesn't matter, as long as there is enough puppet work involved that a puppeteer credit would be required.

KEY CREW POSITIONS

From among our members, we will be selecting:
Director
Director of Photography
Editor
Production Designer
Production Designer
So shoot off an email with links, resumes, letters of interest - whatever would make the committee consider you for on of these positions - to productions@rifcfilms.com. If you aren't loaded with experience in this role, feel free to make your case regardless as we're open to giving people chances to try new challenges.

JUST DO IT ALREADY

The lesson here is simple: Send us a puppet script or send us a link or two to your work and maybe you'll be a significant part of our upcoming puppet masterpiece.
