TODAY IS THE DAY!
It is finally time, 2009 Florida Film Festival starts today! I just stopped by the Enzian Theater to pick up my staff badge and everyone is bustling with excitement, setting up the ticket tents, and preparing all the delish food for the Food & Wine Weekend (27-29). I am completely jazzed about this Festival, its my first film festival and to be a part of it is AWESOME! So what do we have lined up for tonight? Well, we have our first Original Cinema & Forbidden Fruit film, Management @6:30pm starring Jennifer Aniston and Steve Zahn and then the Opening Night Party @ 8:30pm! Tons of fabulous people will be there including Iron Chef Cat Cora and renowned director Ken Russell. Can't wait for tonight! Check out the main Web site www.floridafilmfestival.com and a preview of the FFF below!
I will be posting throughout the festival, March 27-April 5, 2009!

In the SoFlo
Yo guys, it's Jon again.
Gabe and I are now in South Florida (Palm Beach County, to be specific) for our on-the-street mission promoting the 2009 Florida Film Festival. We're headed to Miami tomorrow and will be hitting up Miami, Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale in the next two days.
Will have pics and video later next week!

So I'm not going to talk about the Oscars. They kind of bore me. I think the only one I ever really liked was when that guy streaked across the stage back in the 70's.
Since you've been hearing so much from everybody on the Marketing end of the team, I think it's time to bring you up to speed on the programming side. We have our films and although I've only watched about 1/3 of them, I can definitely say that this year's fest is going to be the best yet (and I've been attending for quite a few years now). There are so many films touching on many different subjects, I know that I am going to have a hard time picking which ones to see. But hang on! Announcements are coming in March so keep on checking our website and blog for all of that fun information!
In other news, I just interviewed Less Than Jake for a local magazine I write for and I do not think I've ever had such a scattered interview. I think we spoke about their music for a total of three minutes but touched on everything from emocore kids to double chocolate ice cream to Australia (where they were at the time) to wrestling, amongst other things. Hopefully I'll be able to have a lot of fun interviews like that during the Festival on WPRK 91.5fm, an amazingly awesome college radio station in Orlando and one that I've been DJing at for four years.
So, as you're anxiously awaiting the FFF schedule to be posted, keep on coming back to this blog for more exciting updates, add us as friends on Facebook and MySpace, and check out our new commercial posted on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUB5UScfbas)!

Academy, thank you...
Yea!!! The Academy Awards!!!
Rachael here and I just got back from watching the 2009 Academy Awards Ceremony at Full Sail University. Wow! What a performance! I was amazed at seeing how well they have turned the ceremony around compared to recent years. One of my favorite changes was them having five previous winners come out to announce the nominees, and then the winner, of the acting awards. I thought it was classy and infuses the ceremony with just the right amount of history. Oh! And I must say, Hugh Jackman ROCKS as a host/singer/comedian/actor/man! Yes indeed he can do what he wants because after all, he is 'Wolverine', and boy does he make things fun!
But that aside, there were also some great films and stars to have won at this years Oscars. The forefront winner of so many awards was Danny Boyle's, Slumdog Millionaire. An amazing film and worthy to have won so much. Danny Boyle himself was fantastic to watch all through the ceremonies as he consistently had a huge grin upon his face the whole time! (although hopefully it was not because of that one dancers left breast hanging out for an entire acceptance speech...)
Other memorable moments...
Heath Ledger winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Most everyone in the audience, both there at the Awards and at the Full Sail event with me, had tears in their eyes as the award was accepted by Ledger's parents and sister in honer of his daughter, Matilda.
On the lighter side of things, another memorable moment was Kate Winslet in search of her father. She knew he was in the audience but had no clue where so she asked him to whistle, and boy did he whistle! Above all the noise that are usually at such events, you could hear her father clear as day. It was incredibly sweet and I only hope one day if I ever win an Oscar my dad does the same.
Well... thats about it for now. It has been a long but very exciting evening and I need to rest up before my trip to the coast this week to advertise this years Florida Film Festival.
Post again soon,

FFF is getting closer...
and there is way too much to do! Of course, everybody is excited around here as we try to lock-in our schedule and decide on who we want to come to the Fest! Of course, I cannot tell you any of that right now, but stay tuned for some fantastic updates that will have you jumping out of your seat!
For now, I'm working on quite a few things outside of FFF. For one, the radio station I am promotions director for, WPRK 91.5fm, is working on bringing in some big-name hip-hop artists to town in the spring.
I am also pretty pumped for the Harvest of Hope music festival going down in the beginning of March at St. Augustine. Since Langerado was canceled due to sluggish ticket sales, Harvest of Hope has been picking up quite a few acts while others are booking shows for Orlando. Personally, I'm excited about seeing Lucero, Modest Mouse, and the Bouncing Souls. Since I have to spend my spring break here at FFF, I figured I would indulge and go to as many Orlando shows as possible.
However, for the time being I'll be working away here at FFF three times a week. I have to say, I am really excited for Che Part One & Two, which is going to be playing at Enzian in mid-February. I've always loved radicals and I think this film is not going to disappoint.
Until next time!
