Seaside Oregon Film Fest
Clatsop County Cultural Coalition
Grant Application For
Seaside International Digital Film Festival
By Patrick Louis Carrico
Project Description:
I propose a film festival comprised of local and International digital films. Digital film making has given rise to high caliber films from new and exciting perspectives. Technology has made the screening of these films assessable to non traditional venues. Pristine image quality can be obtained by projecting a film on a café wall. In my own experience as a film maker, my films have been screened everywhere from Man’s Chinese theater in Los Angeles, to a bar wall in Philadelphia.
Film making is a media embraced by youth. It is a form of art becoming more and more accessible to the amateur as well. Activities, art forms and cultural projects are few in number that address the demographic of the twenty something. It’s this lack of attention that leaves a void in the psychology of young adults that leads to drug abuse. Film making redirected my own energies from self destruction into the large scale ambition it took to make a feature film. Included in this film festival would be an award and scholarship process for local filmmakers to pursue their own dreams. And as film makers love to explain their process, film maker feed back sessions would be scheduled with attending artists.
Funding Justification:
In seeking the full two thousand dollars I am hopping to purchase a digital projector and portable sound system for the exhibition of films and seed money for the establishment of a non-profit to over see future film festivals.
Consumer level projectors are available for a thousand dollars that could turn a café’ like Sam’s or Goose Hollow into a viable screening room. The same projector could also revitalize a larger space such as the old Times Theater.
A nonprofit created to over see the expansion and administer the promotion and advertising of the festival would made efficient the expansion and growth of the festival into a cutting edge caliber festival drawing attendees from around the world. Administrative costs would exceed a thousand dollars when advertising, film requirement were taken into consideration.
Project Promotion:
We would send press releases and hopefully vouchers for discounted or free hotel stays to regional media such as The Portland Mercury and The Willamette Week. Local fliering would take place and business partnerships would be sought out so filmmakers and tourists to this event could fully be welcomed to Seaside. Contact would be made to local high schools for the requirement of volunteers. Filmmakers would be invited to speak to aspiring filmmakers as well.
