You only have one week to make a movie!
What a year, time to party!
Dear Friends,
Glory to God and to his son Jesus for the success of the 168 Film Festival 2009.
From the films, to the presentation, to the red carpet experience, to the jury and the presenters, it was absolutely stellar and far above anything previously achieved before in our 7-year history.
We couldn't have done it without Pastor Rick Fry and presenting sponsor Media City Church and sponsors tubeMogul, EIKI, Resurrection Pictures, Kino Flo, Regent University, Church Production Magazine, AJA, Video Systems, Out of Frame Rentals, Video Symphony, Arri, and Sony.
At the 2-day 168 Film Festival, we welcomed the likes of Ralph Winter, Producer of "X-MEN Origins: Wolverine," Zachary Levi, star of "Chuck," and many other celebrities both human and canine. There were 87 on hand from Guide Dogs of America, and 27 actual guide-dogs-in-training in the festival audience. (They came to watch Frank Lozano's "Guided," which tells the story of the families who raise guide dogs for the blind).
We welcomed 3 teams from England, two from Canada and many more from around the USA.
Media Coverage was strong, including coverage by the Daily News, Salt Lake Tribune, Santa Clarita Signal, and an exposee on KNBC-TV with Cary Berglund (which re-airs Sunday April 12th, 11:30 PM PST Ch. 4 on News Extra). Trinity Broadcasting covered us on Saturday (stay tuned for air date).
PLEASE go to the link below and write adoring reviews and commendations to KNBC-TV and reporter Cary Berglund for his excellent coverage of 168!!!!

(PS. The story does err on one point. 168 does not prohibit the quoting of verses in the films. We ask filmmakers NOT to DISPLAY THE VERSE ON SCREEN, because we already do that).
NEW this year was the $1 raffle, for which we gave away the following prizes to over 100 winners:
$1,000 in food from local area restaurants, Go cart racing, guided bus tours of Hollywood, tanning salon visits, billiards and the grand prize, an iPod touch.
The two festival After Parties put a huge smile on the faces of two Glendale restaurateurs. Friday night we went for Japanese/Thai Fusion at Aoba Restaurant, and Saturday, we were an estimated 400 people strong at the Outback Steakhouse! They finally kicked us out at around 3:30 AM, right on schedule.
Once again, congratulations to all the filmmakers, including those who won awards. You all make us look great!
Save the Date for the 168 Wrap Party Sat. May 9th, when our host will be legendary stuntman Mr. Bob Yerkes. His home includes a pool, jaccuzi and training compound for Cirque de Soleil and other performers. Don't miss the fun.
We invite our international friends to come if at all possible! The party will feature a Trapeeze Flying Chicken, courtesy Mr. Mike Capozzi and a special ceremony to honor our amazing volunteers. Massage Envy will provide courtesy massages for our volunteers!
Peace,
John David Ware, Founder/Director
