Ep 104 | Lights, Camera, Albany!
from The Marc Guzman Experience
Every year, the Albany Film Festival brings together filmmakers from around the Bay Area to share their own works of film. For 8 years now, the Albany Film Festival has showcased the best of what amateur film makers have to offer. After starting off with one film in a theater with free popcorn, the festival has grown into a week long affair with a diverse collection of movies. Today we welcome Naomi Sigal, the coordinator for the festival, as well as Jack Kenny and Ellen Toomey, to talk about how the festival has grown and impacts the community. And to be clear, this is Albany, California, not Albany, New York. 0:00 Opening Wine 3:34 Getting Started How the Festival started 5:42 First Years of the Festival 7:41 This Years Festival 10:34 Favorite Audience Films this Year 12:20 Short Films 13:55 Selection Process 21:15 Submitting Films 23:50 Favorite Parts of the Festival 28:29 Private Albany 30:50 Local vs. Non-Local Participants 32:13 Female Filmmakers/ Stories 37:21 Living on Earth 38:03 "Best…" Awards 39:25 Outdoor Voices 40:33 Child Filmmakers 43:12 Favorite Movies Now 44:56 Who Needs a Movie Made About Them Now? 48:49 Albany Turkeys 51:12 Favorite Spots in Albany 54:57 Wrap up
