| Life, liberty and a driver's license Fri, 16 May 2008 21:34:11 -0500 High fuel prices was the first thing I thought of when reading that Arkansas and West Virginia had the lowest percentage of people with college degrees. |
Putting in full day Mon, 19 May 2008 12:04:59 -0600![]() Just before noon. Photo by Brian Chilson They're already lined up outside of Juanita's for the Foxboro Hot Tubs, who probably won't hit the stage until 11 p.m. tonight.
Anyone planning on braving the line? |

LRFF: And the winner is..... Sun, 18 May 2008 23:44:10 -0600![]() Of course, I dipped out early to make the awards ceremony, which of course was delayed another half hour. When it finally got dark enough to show clips from the winning films on a screen stretched across the amphitheater stage. Somehow, I managed to miss the two big winners in documentary and narrative film. I can't work up much enthusiasm for "The Promotion," but I'm dying to see "Behind Forgotten Eyes." Here's a full list of the winners:
Narrative Feature: "The Promotion" Documentary Feature: "Behind Forgotten Eyes" The Charles B. Pierce Award for Arkansas Film: "War Eagle, Arkansas" Narrative Short: "The Adventure" Documentary Short: "Pilgrimage" |
LRFF: Keeping it Natural and Keeping it Short Sun, 18 May 2008 16:44:32 -0600![]() This year's panel on economic incentives aimed at encouraging growth in the native film industry was all business. Sure, there was boosterism. However, Christopher Crane led off with concrete examples of the steps being taken to put together a real incentive package for next year's vote. The state film office has already commissioned an economic impact analysis, and they're determined to bring real facts to the floor when putting forth their plan in 2009. With millions of dollars to be made, the state legislature's liable to perk up their ears.
Little Rock Film Commissioner Gary Newton focused on the infrastructure needed to build an industry, while Judge and Amy Reinhold brought first-hand experience of the kind of economic growth that can result from such measures. The couple's home base of New Mexico has seen hundreds of millions of dollars flood into the state since implementing its incentive package. A good deal of time was spent on what Judge Reinhold called "managing expectations," with Newton repeating a cautious maxim: "Incentives can't make bad locations good, but they can make good locations competitive." Still, the natural beauty of our state and the recent success of the LRFF are cause enough for optimism. ![]() I've said before that I never miss a documentary shorts program, and, true to my word, I skeedaddled back to the Riverdale as soon as the panel opened up to audience questions. I wasn't disappointed. Among theighlights: "Rooftop Bees," about a Brooklyn-based beekeeper, and "Kids + Money," an extremely well-wrought look at the way 12-17 year olds spend money. The latter was pretty obscene, and I whispered in festival co-founder Jamie Moses' ear as I groped for the exit that it had me feeling a bit apocalyptic, just like my every reluctant trip to the mall.
