Welcome…
Welcome to the Williamsburg International Film Festival. From features to shorts, documentaries
to animation, student films to foreign films, we are excited to present creative stories from both
emerging and experienced filmmakers.
We open this year’s festival with a World Premiere: The feature film Last Pickup; in which, the
good, the bad, and the not-so-well intentioned collide.
Films can provide a portal to a new world: What would you do if you lost your job on a coin toss?
In the heartwarming, New York Premiere feature, Well Wishes, a dreamer pursues fortune,
enlightenment and love in America.
In the New York Premiere of the feature Selfie a psychologist investigates a “Selfie Serial Killer!”
A teenage girl uses social media to run a revolution, in the doc feature #ChicagoGirl.
A man attempts to track down his “first love” only to discover… the shock you will see in the New
York Premiere feature Keep in Touch.
Experience a variation of the 17th century philosopher Rene Descartes’ view of the world in
Without a Doubt. And enjoy a rhyming ghost story in W, and a poetic moody one in Winter’s
Hold.
Films help us to better understand the world we live in: In the short film Family on Board a man on
his way to prison reflects on his life; and in another short Marvin a young man being released
contemplates revenge or forgiveness.
In the World Premiere of Treatment a bank teller is willing to do the unthinkable to save his mom
from a terminal illness.
Films are a part of our history: A century ago Paris set the pace for the art world; today, New York
is where art careers are launched. What caused this shift? This is just one of the questions
explored in the NY Premiere of the feature documentary Opening.
Films are a part of our culture: Check out; women seeking love in The Single Ladies of NY; steam
punk in Steam Dream; bullying in Irreparable Damage; baby obsession in Mine; and overcoming
disabilities in Powerful Medicine: Simply Magic.
Films are a part of who we are: Four young people of different races and genders struggle for a
brighter future in The Hope of a Nation; a marriage is in peril in Appreciation; so are soccer moms
in Soccer Moms in Peril; as well as Christians in Mountain of Servants.
May we never forget the pure beauty of films to entertain, educate and enlighten.
I encourage you to stick around after each screening. We have several local filmmakers, as well as
those traveling from around the world, who will be present to discuss their films with the
audience in a Q&A session at the end of each program.
In addition to films, we've thrown in music videos, panels and parties to provide you with a funfilled weekend to fuel your creativity and ignite your imagination.
Planning a festival is a major undertaking and although there are many people to thank; I first
wish to acknowledge the entire Programming Department for all their sincere hard work. I also
wish to thank the festival founders Michael Helman and Robin Adams, and also Stella McGovern.
The festival is a testament to their ability to transfer enthusiasm and their power of persistence.
Lastly, my biggest thanks are for our audience, this festival is for you.
Sincerely,
Marc Kess
Programming Director

You can’t finish a project if you never start it. This year we hope to stimulate the
writer in you with a dynamic series of panels and workshops that are designed to
get you the information you need without unnecessary fluff.
2:00 - 3:00 PM – Books & Blogs
Why haven’t you written that book or started that blog? Authors Kirt Gonzales
(The Chauncey Street Monster), Felicia Lin (Metropolicks), and G. Anthony
Williams (Vogue, GQ, AccessHollywood.com, Black Enterprise Magazine) are
sure to inspire you by sharing their writing processes and experiences.
3:15 - 4:15 PM – Screenwriting 101
Do you have an idea for a movie that you’ve been sitting on but you aren’t sure
where to start? What goes into a script? What is a treatment? Should you
outline your story before you start writing? Robb Gilmore, a talented
Screenwriter and Producer, will address these and other essential questions to
jump start your screenwriting journey.
4:30 - 5:30 PM – Challenges of the Writer/Director
Deciding to do it all yourself can be both daunting and exciting. What are some
of the pitfalls? This panel features emerging writers/directors, including Jim
Malone, who will speak candidly about their experiences for your benefit.

A dynamic performer, actress and spokesmodel
with distinctive style and quick wit, Africa
Miranda won the hearts of many across the US
and around the globe as the breakout star of
Bravo TV’s The New Atlanta. Fans fell in love
with her witty personality and of course her
fabulous head of hair, but also her down to
earth girl next-door appeal. On The New Atlanta,
Africa was shown developing her multiple
projects, juggling
the demands of
her growing
career and
navigating the
delicate balance
between ambition and success versus love and
relationships. Viewers immediately picked up that
she is a fast talker, with a dry sense of humor. She is
cerebral, and says: “I’m always in my feelings,” willing
to show her fears, struggles, successes or failures.
After appearing on The New Atlanta, Africa was
named the first ever Brand Ambassador for
international
hair care
company
Creme of
Nature. Having already been the face of
their previous Argan Oil from Morocco
campaign, the brand recognized Africa’s
connection with their consumers and felt
she was a perfect fit. As Brand Ambassador
she represented the company in various
capacities including special appearances,
hosting social media chats, and speaking at
events and on panels.

oil, must reassess who he can trust as he struggles to survive
Chinese, Canadian and United States forces vying to steal the technology and achieve

way to prevent an international disaster from occurring on Canadian soil. Email:

All Things Chicken
music by Ben Wise
In a figurative wasteland, two guys are so stuck in their lives that they must pass the
time by talking about profound things in profoundly foolish ways. “All Things Chicken” is
both a comedy drama about how NOT to live one's life, yet also a paean to the saving
grace of friendship.
Hailing from the humble outskirts of Greensboro, NC, Wise's musical
journey began before he can even remember, having a mother who
taught piano and a father who was a high school band instructor.
Dropping out of college in his early 20’s to enroll in an audio
engineering program in New York City was the best decision he
could've made. While he also moved northward to front a band, he
was more focused on a less dicey future working in recording studios.
He began co-writing with some of the staff composers. It was an entry
into the world of composing, if in the most bizarrely unimaginable
way; from punk rocker to jingle writer.
He continues to chart his own path bringing a fresh approach to
whatever he works on, whether it’s a :15 commercial, a 4-minute song or a 40-minute film. Wise
continues to record albums and gig with his solo project and indie/folk band TINY goliath. Email:

Old Days

DiNatale. The Atomik Age Project members are: Jim Ceribello, lead vocals; Lou DiNatale,

expressly the invention of the Cartesian co-ordinates (X,Y,Z), and his
most famous statement, 'I think, therefore I am,' to create an
introspective dimension within our own understanding. RT: 6 min. New

In the transboundary
region of northern
British Columbia and
Alaska, many largescale open-pit mines
are proposed on the
Canadian side of
rivers that flow into
Alaska, where salmon
fishing and tourism are worth $2b annually. The 2014 tailings Mount
Polley dam breach, just south of the transboundary region, validates
the fears of many who view mining of this type as unsafe and
incongruous with healthy salmon rivers. RT: 6 min. New York Premiere
