			<description>&#60;p&#62;Hey all,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;My name&#38;#39;s Alan and I&#38;#39;m a filmmaker down here in Tucson.  I&#38;#39;m going to be graduating next May with a BFA in Film Production, and while 90% of my class is headed to either New York or LA, I decided I wanted something different. I&#38;#39;m not sure where I want to end up, but I was interested to learn more about the film scene up there in Alaska. I love snow, mountains and the outdoors in general, but what&#38;#39;s the film scene like? Is there work I could find? I&#38;#39;d be fine doing whatever&#38;#39;s up there... I just want to be making movies! If anyone has any info, that&#38;#39;d be awesome.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thanks,&#60;br /&#62;
Alan

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Comments on January 2010 JUMP Festival&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I found the new venue to be both a positive and negative experience.  The down side was that the audiences seemed to behave much more formally.  The Friday audiences barely clapped or laughed at all.  This really was a change from the dynamic excitement that somehow flows through the Silverbow.  Saturday’s 7pm crowd was more responsive and the last show at 9pm was the best crowd of the festival.   Some of the people I asked about their impression of the two venues, felt that not having real food was another big missing element.  With the fixed rows of theater seats, people really didn’t move much during intermission and with the isles being so narrow, people didn’t linger as much as they did in the Silverbow after the shows.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;On the positive side, the actual movie watching experience was far superior at the Nickelodeon.  Sound and picture quality were much better in every respect.  Since the Lucid Reverie crew was running the place, everything was much more stable and predictable than at the Silverbow.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It seems that some of the old energy returned Saturday because there were a few people who started leading the clapping after each film and because the Lucid Reverie crew put in a few chairs and maybe everyone relaxed a little bit.  If we decide to continue at the Nickelodeon, then we should probably work a little more overtly on cultivating the positive energy.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;My only real complaint is that I didn’t like the over 21 restriction on the 9pm shows.  I know that lots of people under 21 came to the late shows at the Silverbow.  If there is something that we can do to allow alcohol sales, and still be inclusive, then I’d like to explore that.  I know that some folks thought that alcohol sales would boost audience participation but the Friday 9pm “alcohol” crowd was less responsive than the 7pm “sober” Saturday crowd, so I don’t think the relationship between enthusiasm and alcohol is that clear.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Now for a few thoughts about the entries themselves:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;JUMP Intro&#60;br /&#62;
Nice opening sequence.  Aaron is a man of many talents.  I liked Libby breaking ice in her extra-toughs.  My only minor comment is that when Aaron and Libby were talking the soundtrack changed completely depending on who was on screen.  A little blended background sound would have been a slight improvement.  But hey, with those kind of special effects, who’s needs audio?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Butterflies of Iguazu&#60;br /&#62;
This was a great light hearted start to the festival.  Oksana was very enthusiastic in telling her side of the story and Arlo also made it fun.  I was impressed that they were able to make such an engaging little film about one butterfly encounter.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The Orphan&#60;br /&#62;
Excellent miniatures and stop motion animation.  I was able to follow the story pretty well until the last few seconds.  Once the witch was pushed into the river, I got a little confused.  After watching it a couple of times, I figured it out.  It’s always tough to tell a&#60;br /&#62;
story without words.  The musical accompaniment was cool.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;A Documentary Study&#60;br /&#62;
(Fear of Birds)  I really liked the shot of the girl standing in front of the mural on City Hall with a giant eagle behind her as she described her fear of birds.  The ending was a little abrupt.  Maybe add a concluding sequence next time…  But all in all this was fun and concise.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Actual Warning Label&#60;br /&#62;
Hard to believe this was a real warning.  The lawyers must have worked overtime on this one.  It sounds like the device is something you would want sealed in a high security vault, not something that you would willingly bring into your house.  What a great marketing strategy.  Nice job of blowing up the house…&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Montana Creek Fish Trap&#60;br /&#62;
I was recruited by the City Museum to make a three minute silent documentary to be shown along side the display of the Montana Creek Fish Trap.  I dusted off an old VHS tape shot by Bob Betts during the excavation and started editing.  I entered it in the JUMP festival as an afterthought.  I was surprised at the positive feedback it got.  I might be inspired to work on it a little more.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Slight of Hand&#60;br /&#62;
I liked this one.  I am somewhat biased because my son Connor is in it.  It was fun for me to watch because I didn’t have anything to do with the production.  The first time I saw it was at the festival.  My only negative comment was that one of the cards was a 4 then cut to an Ace during the close-up and then went back to a 4 in the medium shot.  This confused me.  I felt like the whole story built up to going to the fiction reading but it ended before we got there.  I wanted just a little more… (which is a compliment)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;City one Minutes – there are a lot of these so I’ll be brief:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Dawn&#60;br /&#62;
I could smell the rotten fish.  I liked the boats that looked like they were traveling on land.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Rain Forest&#60;br /&#62;
Cope Park can be wet, pretty and dreary all at the same time.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;One Minute Adventure.&#60;br /&#62;
One minute isn’t much time to tell a story, it was a fun challenge.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Tracey Fjord&#60;br /&#62;
Very cool (ice cold) image of a glacier calving.  I like the lady on the boat who seemed completely lost.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Whales&#60;br /&#62;
A very nice day and we got really lucky.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Alaska Weddings&#60;br /&#62;
This was the first wedding video that I have seen that didn’t include any expression of joy.  Very enigmatic.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Shipyard&#60;br /&#62;
This captured the independent spirit of wooden boatbuilding in Juneau.  This is rare and wonderful thing.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Tongue&#60;br /&#62;
I couldn’t watch this.  A tongue is too precious to waste.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Basketball&#60;br /&#62;
Nice day at Capital Park.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Fishing&#60;br /&#62;
Neat what you can do with a tripod and a camera and one cast/crew/writer/director man of many talents.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Derring and Down&#60;br /&#62;
I didn’t realize that a guitar was a percussion instrument.  It looked like a fun night out.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Back in Town&#60;br /&#62;
Excellent silent love story.  This short really told a story in one minute without words.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Clock&#60;br /&#62;
I enjoyed seeing the clock run fast in time lapse.  Especially with the bar sounds in the background.  I liked the idea of moon time lapse but the moon was too blurry for me to fully enjoy.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Requiem&#60;br /&#62;
This was very cinematic.   A rainy night can be a beautiful thing in the right filmmaker’s hands.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Hippo&#38;#39;s Party&#60;br /&#62;
This was a very well executed claymation project.  I liked that it was not dialog driven but the story was clear and fun.  The hippo’s expressions made the whole thing accessible.  I need to find a rubber ducky that can change its expression!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Juneau Fine Arts Camp Shorts&#60;br /&#62;
This was fun, short and engaging.  Keep making those fun movies.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Ultro Mysterio&#60;br /&#62;
This movie really tested my extremely rusty Spanish.  I loved the lighting and feel of this film.  It really made Juneau look like something out of an old detective motion picture.  It was funny and visually engaging.  I would have liked subtitles though, Mrs. Figgarola (my Spanish teacher) would not be proud of me.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Peru Roughcuts: The Road&#60;br /&#62;
A very good documentary.  I like the cuts between the two story tellers and the actual footage.  The cuts between the two women as they spoke was almost seamless.  Their stories complimented each other so well, it appeared to be scripted.  The only disappointment was that the whole thing built up to an image of a bus hanging on the edge of a cliff but there wasn’t a single picture.  How frustrating for the audience after all of the build up.  Arlo later told me that the whole event was so traumatic that he didn’t feel appropriate grabbing his camera and taking advantage of these people’s misfortune.  I applaud his humanitarianism (but damn it Arlo, that’s what American’s are supposed to do!) and think he should have mentioned that in the documentary as well.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Remodeling&#60;br /&#62;
Before I made this movie I handed the script around to a few people that I trusted and 2/3 didn’t like it.  So I decided to make the short film anyway.  Guess what?  Only about 1/3 of the audience liked it.  Hmm… funny how that works.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Filejerks Rap Session&#60;br /&#62;
I would have liked a little back story to go with the rap footage.  Who are these guys?  It was a nice slice of Juneau nightlife.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Beard Clippings&#60;br /&#62;
Well this was an interesting approach to an age old problem (critical missing footage) it goes back to Noah and the 15 commandments.  I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary but I was really engaged in the subject and wanted to see Aaron on stage.  I felt that the photos could have been left on the screen just a little longer to satisfy my curiosity about the subject of the documentary (I mean wow, Aaron won Alaskan Whaler 2nd place!) without ruining the joke.  But even so, it was a fun documentary.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I&#38;#39;d like to take a moment to post a thank you to Maaike van der Linden for bringing the City One Minute project to Juneau.  I really enjoyed the fact that the project brought the film making community of Juneau together to create a portrait of our town.  I&#38;#39;d also like to thank Pat, Lou and Aaron and the rest of the crew at Lucid Reverie for generously supporting the project.  It would be interesting to hear other people&#38;#39;s reactions to the process and final product.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;The University venue was great.  Great image quality, great seating, great sound.  Now all we need is an audience to go with it. Thanks to everyone who put it on out there. One issue with the Silverbow segment of the festival was that the top of the screen was projected on the curtain.  So this time if you weren’t sitting in the front row, you missed both the top and the bottom of the screen.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I would like to see the cool Juneau Arts and Humanities Council dancing lead the show again.  I love that segment.  It really sets the mood.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Aurora Projek&#60;br /&#62;
Beautiful, very hard to capture images.   It made me feel glad to be an Alaskan but made me feel like I need to get out there and do more stuff – but I’m definitely not going to snowboard on slopes so steep that I need to outrun avalanches!  This piece felt very professional.  No apologies needed for production value or musical backdrop.  I really loved the fast motion shot of the cruiseship pulling out of town at dusk.  Still for everything it had going for it, I still wanted a little interaction with the people who were risking their lives to have fun.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The Evil – A Cautionary Tale&#60;br /&#62;
Basically a fun short in the JUMP tradition.  I think the “clock combat” scene could have been a little shorter and I really wanted to see the clock get smashed with the axe even though it didn’t fit the script.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Morning Cup&#60;br /&#62;
This was a good idea but I didn’t feel it lived up to it’s potential.  The beginning sequence was very cinematic and it was extremely polished compared to the rest of the movie.  Once the film shifted to live action, the production value dropped a couple of notches but the real issue was that the main character didn’t appear sleepy.  Then during the coffee shop scene, it appeared that they were selling half full or empty cups.  The cups didn’t seem to be full of hot coffee since they didn’t have much weight and no one was handling them gingerly.  I was guessing that there wasn’t time or budget to use real coffee in this scene but unfortunately this pulled me out of the movie.  At the ending once again the main character didn’t seem sleepy but the miniature cup was a good ending.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Rawhide&#60;br /&#62;
This was the most successful in meeting the axiom “Leave ‘em wanting more.”&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;What’s Really in you Cell Phone&#60;br /&#62;
This was visually arresting but, they needed a little more content to persuade me to look into the issue further.  I wasn’t sure I really understood the problem but I do remember the image of the bleeding phone so I guess it worked.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Queen Salmon&#60;br /&#62;
Since this was my entry, I can’t be objective.  The biggest thing that worked for me was that I was actually able to film the project as it progressed.   This was very different than the “Mendenhall Towers” doc that I did where it was mostly retrospective and photos.  The down side of filming this was the lighting varied wildly.  One minute I’m under medium fluorescent, then dim incandescent, then bright sunlight.  I had my hands full fighting with the light settings while trying to capture what was going on.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Tight Rope&#60;br /&#62;
Once again, it was nice to have stop motion in the show.  Very reflective.  The motion followed the music.  Since there wasn’t a storyline, it was more of a background piece than something that really held my attention.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The Most Ferocious Dance Group Ever&#60;br /&#62;
Too short.  It wasn’t long enough for anything to really happen.  At least it met the old adage “Leave ‘em wanting more.”&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Garbage Man&#60;br /&#62;
Clever.  It was fun to see Jeff Brown younger than he is today.  Nicely edited and fun to watch.  Is there more of this stuff out there?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Custer&#60;br /&#62;
I loved the fact that these were Native Americans talking about Custer’s Last Stand from their point of view.  Unfortunately, I was confused and distracted by what was being said because I remembered that in the years following the battle, there were several published accounts from Indian warriors gave first hand accounts of what happened.  None of these first hand accounts matched with what these elders were saying on the video.  It’s one thing for them to contradict what was published by the U.S. media but I wanted an explanation for why their stories contradicted the recorded statements of what the Indians said who were in the battle.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Intermission&#60;br /&#62;
Nice to have some more animation in the festival.  This was a fun throw away gag but 3 ducks would have been enough.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;You Don’t Lose Your Girl Just Your Turn&#60;br /&#62;
Wow, how about that dialog delivery?  Sounded like the actors were reading their lines.  Maybe that was a comic intent, if so it worked.  I like this one up until the guy shot his gun.  I wanted the cheating guy to jump out the window or something.  Shooting the gun made the whole thing too serious.  To match the rest of the mood it needed to end on a funny image.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Brown Snow Teaser&#60;br /&#62;
Another great snowboard video but once again, nothing from the people who are ready to die for another great run.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Vote Here&#60;br /&#62;
This movie seemed really uneven.  The guy in the car seemed pretty realistic and together.  It was also neat that he was having an unintentional conversation with the radio.  This sort of thing is really hard to pull off but it worked.  When he got to the polling place, I couldn’t figure out what was going on.  A bunch of growling, jumping, running and tackling.  Funny but completely baffling.  Why?  Were these people zombies or  republicans who were mad because the election results were announced before the polls closed?  It was fun physical humor but it didn’t really fit with the dialog driven humor in the car.  A little more plot development in the JAHC would have helped.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Now Wear This&#60;br /&#62;
I’m a little uncomfortable with using lots of copyrighted material.  But the fact that you can makes JUMP an underground film festival.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Bag 9&#60;br /&#62;
Funny but ended abruptly.  I wanted more.  Maybe an hand reaching in to get???&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The Unfortunate&#60;br /&#62;
I’ve spent the most time thinking about this movie of all the entries.  It was very ambitious and it was a good attempt to tell a historic story with images.  No clear dialog was used to propel the story.  Dark.  I bet this was challenging to shoot. So I loved that, but I felt it fell a little short of it’s incredible potential.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The transition from historical footage to the modern footage was jarring.  It would have been better if the new shots looked more like the original.  I think this would have been better in black and white.  If color was needed for the blood scenes and the green of the four leaf clover, a little color could have been blended in.  In any event the blood seemed over done when compared to the rest of the film.  Also, it appeared that this was shot in video at 24p because the images flickered.  It’s difficult to get video to look like film but I really don’t like the look of 24p.  Very nice soundtrack.  Sound editing really punched this up a few notches.  I’m curious how much of the soundtrack was original and how much was Foley or purchased sound effects.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;For all of this, I had a very hard time relating to the main character.  He seemed like a robot or a zombie fighting for no reason and without much of a survival instinct.  Based on the leading text, I expected him to be trying to escape back to his lines.  Taking a prisoner in his situation seemed crazy.  I related to the prisoner but I couldn’t understand why he was coldly executed.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;All in all a great attempt at telling a difficult story with images but it left me wanting a more compelling main character.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Buy Back America&#60;br /&#62;
A fun ending to the festival.  Too bad I wasn’t around when they were filming their dance footage.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Filmmakers, submit your work to the 36th Northwest Film &#38;#38; Video Festival, presented by the Northwest Film Center.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Entry deadline is Saturday August 1, 2009&#60;br /&#62;
Festival runs November 6-14, 2009&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The Northwest Film &#38;#38; Video Festival is the most venerable and comprehensive showcase of outstanding work made by filmmakers living in the region.  &#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;Generally, 30-45 shorts, features and documentaries are screened during the Festival, then 10-15 shorts are selected for the Best of the Northwest Tour program, which travels the following year throughout the Northwest to media arts centers, museums, arts councils and universities.  Filmmakers are also eligible for over $15,000 of Production Service Awards provided by sponsoring companies with valuable production resources.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Permanent residents of Alaska, British Columbia, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington may submit two works of any length or genre released since August 1, 2007 and not previously entered in the Festival. Student entries (college and university only) must be from a school located in the Northwest.&#60;/p&#62;
