Bob Jones' Doc To Play Three More Fests
Professor Bob Jones' documentary American Soldier has been selected for three more fests: New Filmmakers in NYC, Best Damn Short Film Fest and Palm Springs Int. Short Film Fest.
Alumni - Aaron King Makes Docs
Aaron King, late of AFI and UCF FILM, write in to tell us:
I just completed a couple of short documentaries for the website quarterlife.com. They feature two very talented musician friends of mine, Brianna Nadeau and Jon Rosenberg.
Jon's are: Cascade Array Parts I & II
Bri's are: Modern Soul Parts I & II
Check them out!
Some of my shoddy lighting didn't survive the flash compression so I'm thinking about reposting them in higher quality on iklipz.com after the first month exclusivity ends with quarterlife.com too.
hope you enjoy!
