Scheduled for the last week in February, organizers have brought big changes and even bigger names to the event now in its fourth year. 6 Nacogdoches Film Festival 2015 "We have added additional panels that deal with producing, writing for the screen and making a film in Nacogdoches," said Ron Johnson, film WHO WE ARE The Nacogdoches Film Festival operates in Nacogdoches, Texas—an East Texas college community known for its arts focus and easy access to area attractions, trails, restaurants, shopping and scenic byways. festival committee chair.

Another festival first this year is the use of Nacogdoches full-screen theaters, including the Carmike and SFA Movie Theater. Kids and filmmaking A first for the Nacogdoches Film Festival is a filmmaking workshop for children slated for Saturday morning. “A ll "Many of us enjoy reading books and watching movies," said Bruce Partain, CEO and president of the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce. "It is wonderful to be part of an enthusiastic audience, but it is also great to be an active participant, especially when you are young. So, don't just read books — write them. Don't just watch films — make them." "Visual storytelling is a learned skill that makes use of angles, framing, point of view, shot selection and editing," Partain said. Professionals leading the workshop include Dr. Casey Hart, SFA professor who teaches broadcast video techniques. He and Dr. Linda Bond are both faculty of the SFA Department of Mass Communication, which is hosting the workshop, added Partain. the An EYE For The wo a stage” rld’s Robert Lehmann, M.D. Jacqueline Hilton, O.D.

The film “Road to Austin” — written, directed and produced by Gary Fortin of the FORMAX Group — will be one of several films screened during the 2015 Nacogdoches Film Festival in March. “This film — it’s a documentary of how Austin, Texas, became the live music capital of the world,” Fortin said. “It starts from the 1800s and takes you to the present, then it 8 Nacogdoches Film Festival 2015 morphs into the 2007 concert that was also called ‘Road to Austin.’” Bruton was right-hand man to and lead guitarist for Kris Kristofferson — a singer, songwriter, musician and actor known for hits “Me and Bobby McGee” and “For the Good Times,” among others. “Kris is also a dear friend of mine and Stephen was my business partner,” Fortin said. “Kris and I decided to do the film about four years ago in order to memorialize Stephen Bruton.” The 2007 Road to Austin concert was one Fortin said he produced and was Bruton’s last major performance. “Road to Austin was unveiled to an audience of 20,000 people in Austin, Texas,” the Road to Austin film website states. “The lineup was developed to include multiple genres of music, including poetry and opera. The production attempted to blend and blur this artistic diversity in order to deliver many never-seen-before collaborations.” Celebrity headliners included Kristofferson, Bonnie Raitt, Delbert McClinton, Joe Ely, Ian McLagan, Eric Johnson, Bobby Whitlock and CoCo Carmel. Those headliners “heightened the impact of the evenings apex and afforded Austin’s local artists an opportunity to have these legends accompany Road to Austin » 12 Gary Fortin Writer/Director Gary Fortin is a 30-year veteran in the world of visual arts. He is a writer, director, producer, executive producer, and cameraman all with equal veteran prowess.

Though the full length film version runs three hours and 40 minutes, Nacogdoches Film Festival will screen a 75-minute festival cut, Fortin said. It was released on DVD and Blue Ray in December. “It’s been received amazingly all over the world,” Fortin said, adding that 100 percent of the film’s profits go toward creation of the Stephen Bruton memorial Artist Wellness Program and “delivering awareness towards bolstering the quality of health and wellness to the artist community,” the website states. “The artist wellness program is based on what we called biomarker testing,” Fortin said. “Stephen died of cancer so ... the short of it is the artist wellness program is designed for early detection of life threatening diseases.” Fortin has been in the visual art community for about 35 years, he said. He began as a professional fashion photographer, living for several years in Europe before moving to Austin in 1995.

We set out to share a oncein-a-lifetime, up-close-and-personal look at small-town politics. What unfolds is the story of small-town America.” Incumbent Mayor Kenneth Melvin defeated Rob Gowin in a runoff. The other challenger was William Igbokwe. Melvin died in December. Carmike is scheduled to show the film at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 27. “My two fellow producers, Anthony Jackson, who is my brother, and Whitney and several cast members will be there,” Jackson said. “Rob — one of the candidates for mayor — is going, along with Cherokee County Judge Chris Davis and Kurt Sadler, Rob’s cousin.” Beyond the Nacogdoches screening, no others are scheduled for “Tomato Republic” this year. But Jackson said she is considering one for Washington. Jenna Jackson Director/Producer Jenna grew up in teensy Jacksonville, Texas. She went to college at Sam Houston State University – and there she met her mentor and friend, Dan Rather. He grew her into a real journalist – and a more courageous individual – and hired her shortly after graduation. Jenna’s passion has always been telling real stories about real people and she started P+R Productions to do just that. With a team like this one, the stories – whether on television or the big screen – will be beautiful, captivating and one of a kind. She lives in Houston with her twin boys (Parker and Rees, the original P and R) and her husband, who is totally supportive of her craziness. Jenna won the News & Documentary Emmy Award, “Outstanding Continuing Coverage of a News Story in a News Magazine” in 2012, for her work as Producer on CBS News’ “48 Hours” broadcast “Grave Injustice,” which told the story of a Texas man who was wrongfully convicted based on flawed evidence for brutally murdering a family. Nacogdoches Film Festival 2015 17 Photograph taken by Linda Carfagno 18 Nacogdoches Film Festival 2015 George R.R. Martin BRINGS GAME OF thrones to festival By CHRISTINE BROUSSARD [email protected] Any fan of George R.R. Martin knows the longtime science fiction author turned screenwriter knows all too well how to keep an audience on the edge of its seat. Killing off many of his fan’s favorite characters in the Game of Thrones (GoT) book series, and now in the HBO television adaptation, has created an uproar among diehard devotees. Even so, Martin’s fan base has exploded since his Game of Thrones books came to life on the small screen. And soon, Nacogdoches residents will have the opportunity to listen to Martin as he shares insight into the writing process and the growth of a fantasy empire during the 2015 Nacogdoches Film Festival in March. The annual film festival is now in its fourth year. Martin recently spoke with The Daily Sentinel about his success and some of his history. “It’s been a wild ride,” Martin said over the phone from his office in Santa Fe. “I never could have anticipated the success of Game of Thrones. You always hope the show will be successful, but to be successful on this level is just amazing.” Martin’s presence at the Nacogdoches Film Festival is directly due to his friendship with Nacogdoches native and fellow author, Joe Lansdale. The two became acquainted “from the science fiction world conventions and things like that,” Martin said. “I first came to a Texas science fiction conviction in 1973, so I know quite a few of the Texas writers — past and present — of science fiction and fantasy and horror.” Martin has jumped between writing mediums during his Road to Austin » 20 Nacogdoches Film Festival 2015 19 George R.R.

They just know the actors saying the lines. But so many people with different abilities are contributing (to film). I think it’s going to be marvelous this year.” Lansdale is one of the scheduled panelists. His book, “Cold in July” was adapted to film by director Jim Mickle. It will premier on Feb. 27 at Carmike, and a Q&A with both men will follow.
