Tucson: 'NINE LIVES' with Director RODRIGO GARCIA IN PERSON at 'The Loft' Cinema

2005 Latino Producers Academy
( Aug. 3-12, 2005 )
Tucson , Arizona

WELCOME BACK, NALIP!

 NINE LIVES with Director RODRIGO GARCIA IN PERSON
at The Loft Cinema
Monday, August 8 th @ 8 PM ( Tucson , AZ)

http://www.loftcinema.com/

THE LOFT CINEMA welcomes the National Association of Latino Independent Producers back to Tucson with their 3 rd Annual:Latino Producers Academy.

The Loft is proud to host the NALIP screening of the film Nine Lives with director Rodrigo Garcia in person. The public is invited to join the best emerging Latino and Latina feature and documentary producers and directors at a celebration of new Latino Cinema.  

Rodrigo Garcia (son of Columbian writer Gabriel Garcia-Marquez) is both a director (Ten Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her, 2000) and a cinematographer (Danzon, Mi Vida Loca, Gia).

NINE LIVES tells the story of nine women, captives of the very relationships that define and sustain them, as they resiliently meet the travails and disappointments of life. Each of the film’s separate but sometimes overlapping episodes is a small window into an emotional junction in one woman’s life, each one captured in real time and each in a single camera shot.

The film stars Holly Hunter, Glenn Close, Sissy Spacek, Aidan Quinn, Robin Wright Penn and was executive-produced by Alejandro González Iñárritu.

The Los Angeles Film Festival program proclaims that, “Nine Lives firmly establishes director Rodrigo Garcia as a master chronicler of the intricacies of female lives.”

See the film that was a critical success when it premiered last month at the Los Angeles Film Festival. Nine Lives is also an official selection of this year’s Toronto Film Festival.

Admission: $10 (suggested donation) 

 

NALIP's Latino Producers Academy is also supported by The Walt Disney Company, Nielsen Media Research, Univision, Fox Broadcasting, POV, The Rockefeller Foundation, The Ford Foundation, Cox Communications, The Hanson Institute, POV/American Documentary, UCLA's Professional Certificate Program, Access Tucson and the University of Arizona 's Media ARts Department.

This year, twenty Fellows in film directing and producing, plus documentaries will attend the 10-day intensive.  Crews of professionals, SAG actors and seasoned mentors will be on hand to assist the feature Fellows in producing and editing select scenes, while the documentary Fellows screen rough cuts to Documentary artists in residence and professional mentors.  Mentors this year include Hector Galan, Prudence Glass, Kino, Mauricio Rubenstein, Joseph Julian Gonzalez, Emilio Kauderer, Isen Robbins, Lynne Littman, Fernanda Rossi, Debbie Zimmerman and Gustavo Sagastume.

These guys really thrilled the crowd.

The Unknown Stuntmen, Arizona's most exciting and experienced Stunt Team,
debuted last weekend at the outdoor venue at Curves on Oracle road. They
threw punches, shot holes in each other, flew through the air on suspension
wires, did high falls, and blew each other up; live fire, of course. And
they did it for six hours, outside, in 108 degree heat. The former head dogs
at Old Tucson and Rawhide in Phoenix are centerpieces of this eight person
team.

Movies, TV, Public Appearances. This group has logged thousands of very
exciting hours. And they know how to do it without mishaps. That's how you
log thousands of hours.

Greg DeBenedetti, Rob Jensen, Preston Gamblin and the others, are available
now.

Tucson: Female lead for feature needed

Female lead for feature needed


Reply to: anon-86758771@craigslist.org
Date: 2005-07-25, 8:13AM MST


I am an independent filmmaker, my mission is to produce films that inspire, give hope, or raise human consciousness.

Films have always had a great impact on our society. At their best, films have the power to inspire, empower, enlighten, uplift, challenge, and create change by reflecting the condition of our society and illuminating the issues of our times. We need more of these kinds of meaningful films.

Filmmaking is a business. The cost of making and promoting films has skyrocketed, so studios need blockbusters to break even. The common misconception is that the only way to make money is to produce big, event movies, make remake current blockbusters, or to market movies to a younger mind-set. As a result, we have movies that are more about special effects, gross-out humor, and violent than artful story telling.

Recent advances in digital recording have lowered the production costs and increased the quality of the medium of feature filmmaking. In addition, the Internet has provided independent filmmakers with a distribution channel, which had not before existed.

I am currently in preproduction, production begins on September 9, 2005 in Tucson AZ. Shooting will also take place in Baja, Mexico and Sedona, AZ.

Female must be between 30 and 45 years old and at least 5'4" tall. No nudity or violence.

Please send photo and film experience.


Peace

Not only does he have a wonderful take on her -- not at all mean-spirited -- and this ability to imitate her, he also captures a lot of moments and nuances that are terrific. It was very impressive."
