Route 66 International Film Festival News Release<\/strong><\/p>\n

Films by several local residents are included in the line-up for the 9th Annual Route 66 International Film Festival<\/strong> to be held September 17-19, 2010<\/strong>, at the Hoogland Center for the Arts<\/strong> in Springfield, IL<\/strong>. Their films were selected from an international competition of independent filmmakers from all continents except Antarctica<\/strong>. This year\u2019s 62 films represent 19 states and seven countries.<\/p>\n

CEREAL <\/strong>and LIVE TO RIDE<\/strong>, two films by seventh grader Tobias Bergdorf<\/strong> of Rochester<\/strong>, will be shown in the Student Showcase, along with EVEN OR ODD<\/strong> by the Springfield High School Film Club<\/strong>, co-directed by Andrea Heath<\/strong> and advisor Dave Heinzel<\/strong>. TELEMAFIA<\/strong>, co-written by Rochester resident Jan Militello<\/strong> won the Best Comedy Award. Former Chatham <\/strong>resident, Daric Gates<\/strong>\u2019 film DEAD CAT BOUNCE<\/strong> won the Best Thriller Award, and former Springfield resident Matt Brookens<\/strong>\u2019 film GUITAR PARTY NIGHTMARE<\/strong> will vie for Audience Favorite Comedy.<\/p>\n

The Route 66 International Film Festival has grown each year, getting a special boost after being named one of the \u201c25 Festivals Worth the Fee\u201d by Moviemaker<\/span> <\/strong>magazine in 2008 and being a featured festival at the 2009 International Film Festival Summit<\/strong> in Las Vegas<\/strong>. The festival screens short and feature narratives, documentaries, experimental, and animated films, awarding trophies to judges\u2019 favorites. Short comedies, dramas and debut films may also be selected to compete for Audience Favorite Awards. This year the audience also can vote for their favorite thriller\/horror film.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur judges look for originality and pacing when selecting films,\u201d said Festival Director Linda McElroy<\/strong>. \u201cOur main advice to filmmakers is \u2018don\u2019t bore us.\u2019 Show us something new and don\u2019t try to make a short film idea into a feature. Because our festival has only one screen and is only one weekend, we have to pass on a lot of good films, but we pride ourselves on offering something for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

The complete schedule and more information can be found on the festival website www.route66filmfestival.net<\/a> and on its Facebook<\/strong> page. Passes and tickets are on sale at www.scfta.org<\/a> or by calling (217) 523-2787.<\/strong><\/p>\n
