Call for Michigan Film Entries!

One-of-a-kind Film Festival features Michigan &

Lambton County Artists ONLY.

Port Huron, Michigan, July 20, 2009 - The Blue Water Film Festival (BWFF) announces its call

for film entries postmarked by August 31, 2009. Do you reside in Michigan? Are you a student of a

Michigan school? Do you live in Lambton County, Ontario? The uniqueness of this one-of-a-kind

festival is that the entries must be amateur film-makers from Michigan or Lambton County. All

finalists will shown in their entirety on Saturday, October 10, 2009 at the McMorran Place Theatre in

Port Huron and will also be featured in the official Blue Water Film Festival program. The winning film

will be awarded $1,000 (US), second place earns $750 (US) and third place wins $250 (US). The

Viewers Choice award winner receives an additional $500 (US).

“Michigan’s artistic film talent is in abundance - most people are unaware of all of the directors,

producers, actors and film-makers in this great state. This superb festival will highlight the talent of

Michigan’s film artists giving them the opportunity they may have not received by entering a film

festival that draws from the entire nation,” states Karen Palka of the Blue Water Film Festival. Studio

1219 recently joined the festival by sponsoring the After-Glow Brunch on Sunday, October 11, 2009.

Studio 1219 offers over 8,000 square feet of total space making this the largest public art facility in

Michigan’s Thumb Region. Over 100 local artists display and sell artwork. The perfect compliment to

end an exciting weekend.

“Their [Blue Water Film Festival] combination of dedication and drive will ensure success for these

annual Film Festivals which will in turn bring success to the entire St. Clair County region,”

commented Phil Pavlov, State Representative 81st District, who recently endorsed the Blue Water

Film Festival. An entry form can be downloaded from the BWFF website at

www.BlueWaterFilmFestival.com. Anyone with questions regarding entering a film can call the

Blue Water Film Festival at (810) 985-9223.

George Bailey spends his entire life giving up his big dreams for the good of his town, Bedford Falls, as we see in flashback. But in the present, on Christmas Eve, he is broken and suicidal over the misplacing of an $8000 loan and the machinations of the evil millionaire, Mr. Potter. His guardian angel, Clarence, falls to Earth, literally, and shows him how his town, family, and friends would turn out if he had never been born. George meant so much to so many people; should he really throw it all away?
