Special Seminar: Making the Micro-Budget Movie




Are you a film maker and want to make your own independent film? Are you afraid of how much it will cost or lack the courage to just do it? This informal seminar will open your eyes to the possibilities, regardless of budget. Veteran TV director & indie film maker JOHN PUTCH candidly recounts how he has done just that with 3 award winning productions, MOJAVE PHONE BOOTH, ROUTE 30 & ROUTE 30, TOO!
 
This half-day seminar is brought to you by Independent Pictures, a nonprofit film organization dedicated to bringing artists and industry experts together. We have selected John to speak to the Northeast Ohio filmmaking community because of his straight forward approach and experience in both large and small production. He is the voice of the independent filmmaker and you will walk away with a new, refreshed approach to your projects.

Independent Pictures and Waterloo Arts present The Exploitation Film Classics Series

[Press release from Independent Pictures.]

Independent Pictures, the parent organization of the Ohio Independent Film Festival, announces the screening of rare exploitation films from the 1930s at Waterloo Arts 15605 Waterloo Rd, Cleveland, OH 44110 (216) 692-9500. “This is the perfect film festival for the Waterloo Arts entertainment district”, states Todd Kwait, Board Member of Independent Pictures.



Kwait states “The popularity of our December 2013 screening of MANIAC (1934) has prompted us to dig deep into our vaults and unearth more exploitation classics. The so-called "educational" aspects of these films allowed the depiction of taboo subjects that were prohibited by The Motion Picture Code. Watching these films today is a real hoot! They are best enjoyed as a group activity, primed by liquor, etc. Come on down and have a blast!” Admission is free!!!!



All Films Will Start at 8:00 PM



Enter at the Café located on the corner of East 156th Street and Waterloo



Hosted by Todd Kwait and Robert Banks of Independent Pictures. Full schedule follows after the break.
