Summary Statement for Proposed Uses of Arts Program In one of the most"relentlessly local" programs
of the year and in the Carrboro community, the Carrboro Film Fest reaches out and touches all people.
Successfully. In the last three years we have had standing room only in the Century Center in an event
that lasts five hours long. With our low price point($5) admissions fee to the public. Orange County
residents are able to enjoy films made by their neighbors. In turn, local filmmakers find a supportive leg_
up, having their work showcased in a sophisticated and down-to-earth forum. The Carrboro Film Festival
is again seeking the much needed funds from the OCAC to create marketing and promotions.

Carrboro Film Festival Narrative
Organizational Profile: The Carrboro Film Festival's mission is to promote
creativity, expression and storytelling through filmmaking. By reaching out to
Orange County residents and fostering their myriad talents, the Carrboro Film
Festival presents an avenue for true community and the arts.
This year's festival setting brings together the films, filmmakers and the audience
to enjoy the works made by the people who make up this creatively rich area.
The festival accepts all genres of short films, (20 minutes or less), drama,
comedy, action, romantic, documentary, musical, foreign language or other. Our
two categories are narrative and documentary.
It is our sincere goal to provide the means for beginning and professional
filmmakers alike to get out and create a story using all the methods film
production provides.
The Carrboro Film Festival provided the opportunity for diverse film/video makers
from within our community to share their films/videos with the rest of the
community and with their peers.
Current Programs and Services: The Carrboro Film Festival Committee, along
with other film-focused individuals, is in the process of organizing the 8th Annual
Carrboro Film Festival. This festival is a celebration of the film and video
creativity we have right here in Orange County. It will become another way of
involving the entire Orange County Community.
To wit, last year the Carrboro Film Festival had wonderful press coverage. We
enjoyed articles & features in: The Chapel Hill News, Durham Herald Sun,
Carrboro Commons, Carrboro Free Press and the Carrboro Citizen. We were
interviewed also on WCHL &WCOM. We had our CFF on air promos on The
Peoples Channel.
The CFF is dedicated to increasing awareness of the arts in our community, to
provide venues for established and emerging artists, to showcase their talents,
and to increase the money-making capabilities of our arts community.
Any filmmaker, from beginner to professional, is welcome to submit a film, 20
minutes in length or less. In order to make this a true community effort there will
be three categories for entrants: student (k-12), college, and standard. The
competition will be open to anyone who lives, works, studies or plays in North
Carolina. The emphasis of the Film Festival committee will be in two areas:
education and exhibition. If finances allow, the Committee will send filmmakers
who won awards last year into area schools to work with children in
understanding the basics of both narrative and documentary film. The committee
will interact with college and university programs in our community to encourage
college students to take the "plunge" into the world of festivals. We have already
reached out to all Universities, colleges, public schools (K-12) calling for entries
so that students have the summer to create a film.
Judging is a two-step process, with the Film Festival Committee members
narrowing down the entrants to pick finalists in each category. There is a blue
ribbon judging panel made up of local area experts in the film industry who will
select the final award winners. Winners are awarded the coveted & beautiful
statues created by Carrboro's own sculptor Mike Roig as well as a few cash
prizes.

The Carrboro Film Festival brought a little bit of Hollywood out of Carrboro Sunday.
The festival featured 33 short films ranging from professional videos and student submissions to animation and
music videos.
"It's a great opportunity for local filmmakers to see their movies on a big screen and for their fans to see them,"
said Jackie Helvey, co-founder of the festival.
"We just want the community to come and recognize all the talent around here and watch movies and enjoy
them."
Helvey said the films are not selected solely based on quality.
"Just because a movie isn't being screened, doesn't mean it's not a good movie—it just means we don't have
time to show them all," Helvey said.
The films were played in three 82- to 90-minute blocks, featuring about 10 randomly selected films per block.
After each section, the audience and filmmakers took part in a 20-minute question-and-answer session.
UNC professor Brian Southwell's film"So Now.Look" was featured at the festival. The film tells the story of a
blind a cappella group that has been working for tips in Philadelphia's train stations since 1992.
"Putting the documentary together took a lot of hard work and trust-building—but also was a lot of fun,"
Southwell said in an email.
"The Carrboro Film Festival is intended to build community, which is something I value, and so I submitted a
piece of mine for consideration."
Mimi Schiffiman, a UNC alumna, had two films featured at the festival, "Just a Word" and"Love= Love,"
which focused on marriage equality and Amendment One legislation.
"It started with a campaign that's happening right now called the `We Do' campaign, and they have couples go
in and ask for a marriage license knowing that they're going to get denied," Schiffinan said.
"I got interested in their campaign and then simultaneously the issue of marriage equality here came up and it
felt like the time was right to delve into that topic."
Schiffman said the films were released on The Huffington Post before Amendment One was passed in May.
i
"Just a Word" follows Charlotte couple Jeff and Brian Helms as they travel to the closest place they could
legally marry, Washington D.C.
"Love= Love" tells the story of Isak Atkins Pearcy, a 12-year-old who fought alongside his parents and his
junior high Gay-Straight Alliance to defeat Amendment One.
"There's a lot of power to seeing a personal story—to getting to know somebody a little bit better, to seeing
different sides of their personality," Schiffinan said.
"Then from the personal point of view you can understand a larger issue and contextualize the larger issue
through the personal story."
