Have you ever wondered what it would be like to turn around and see an actor or director sitting next to you at a movie?  I had that experience on several occasions this week at the 2nd Annual Naperville Independent Film Festival or NIFF in Naperville, Illinois.I have been a fan of independent film for a number of years.  To me, independent film offers a more representative palette of human creativity.  It is the minor league for Hollywood films.

When I watch independent films, I look for positive elements that stand out.  Independent film makers do not have access to the same resources as Hollywood film makers, so I believe it is only fair to keep an open mind.  I remind myself to not make harsh judgments by comparing independent film to big budget Hollywood films.  The result is almost always a pleasant surprise.  I now enjoy the wonderful surprises that are created by independent and student film makers.  It is like finding gold nuggets along a path.

I found quite a few gold nuggets this week.  Before I share them with you, I should say that I have no aspirations to be a film critic.  I have a problem criticizing what I have not done myself.  I also have a problem with others criticizing what they have not done or what they are unable to do themselves.  I am a film enthusiast so without further disclaimers, I will provide my positive comments for 6 of the 11 films that I had the pleasure to watch.

The Exhibition by Director Producer Robert MacFarlane is an interesting view into the tortured mind of an artist and accident victim.  The film grabs the audience right away with a scene from an accident.  The story quickly develops with conflict experienced by the main character.  He struggles to produce his art while haunted by the memory of a terrible accident.  The film makes very efficient use of time and images to tell a bigger story, and then resolves very nicely at the end.  Every element in this 8 minute film deserves recognition.

The domestic flick festivity of Cannes is celebrated for most 12 days in May. More than 200,000 people which includes flick makers, flick fans and some grapheme gazers foregather at the Croisette to take conception in the domestic flick festival. On the 12th and the test day around thousands of flick are screened and some careers are launched and same another flick festivals disappointment shows. More than 200,000 people gather. Also some stars form every over the world come here and grab attention.The producer has to do some things same writing a script, actuation the film, editing and then it has to be distributed to the public. This totally depends on how complex the subject is and also various problems that would come up patch making the film.

Development: The idea of the producer or any news that a producer finds is first transformed into a script. The source of the news crapper be some same it crapper be from a book or some play, or it could also be remake of a older movie. An summary precis is prepared as soon as the news is chosen. This breaks the movie down into various scenes, which are of one paragraph each. This is made into a treatment of 25 to 30 pages, which describes the characters, and the mood of the story.

Based on the news a screenplay is then developed which is then edited again and again until the news becomes viable. At this time the producer would want to contact the flick distributors to undergo how these films are doing in the market to make sure the flick becomes a success. The flick is now presented to its financiers. If they are impressed with the flick then they will offer financial championship for the movie. This may be major flick studios or a major flick council or modify independent financiers.

Before heading to the Sundance Film Festival 2010, I did a little research and educated myself on the facts. The Sundance Film Festival was started backwards in 1978 in Salt Lake City and was titled the US Film Festival. It was started by founder, Sterling Van Wagenen, who ran the company titled Wildwood, which Robert Redford was affiliated with, John Earle and Cirina jazzman Catania, who both served on Utah’s Film Commission.

The content backwards then was to create an interest in independent film-making. The festivity was also a competition with awards given discover at the end and to carry producer panel discussions so others could learn and inquire on the concept and creation of projects. In time, the festivity moved to Park City Utah and Robert Redford became the chairperson of the event. Since then, Sundance has grown substantially and has drawn tending of celebrities and the paparazzi. Every today and then you module see a camera crew running down the street looking for a movie star.

While travel down Main Street, where most of the events take place, I passed by and was in the company of artists from all different genres. There were film makers such as directors, actors, producers and cinematographers, but also musicians, painters and sculptors at every street corner. Some of the most fictive people on the follower engulf this little city. They are searching discover others, meet like themselves, to compare notes, chafe elbows, learn and experience as much as they crapper during their stay. This festivity is the perfect opportunity to get those fictive juices flowing and be able to deal ideas with people who crapper help bring those visions to life. The defy in Park City was cold and snowy most days, but that does not counsel anyone from venturing out, in lots of layers, to shop an amazing collection of stores. I had my safekeeping exfoliated and moisturized at one little shop and was checking discover hand-blown glass wine stoppers at another, you really could pay an whole day shopping.
