Without question, those of us creatively engaged in the local film scene are blessed to be able to participate in our growing industry. As we head into the holiday giving season, the NW Film Center would love to encourage OMPA members to become acquainted with a new program we’re developing to help those without a voice tell their stories through the medium of film.
We’re getting lots of interest in the annual meeting and for good reason! It’s going to be a great night! You’re going to want to get there early. Doors to the theater open at 5:30PM and as you are entering the theater, be sure to check out the awesome installation from Second Story Interactive Studios. Second Story is this year’s recipient of our “Innovation In Media Arts Award” so we’re thrilled to have them show off their work.
This media release just came out about the next installment of Bent Image Lab’s holiday specials. You’ll remember that last year Bent produced the original “Jingle All the Way” and this year they have already produced Hallmark’s “Hoops and Yo Yo” Halloween special. This marks their third project with the Hallmark Channel.
Bent Image Lab and Hallmark Channel are excited to present “Jingle and Bell’s Christmas Star” the sequel to the critically acclaimed stop motion production “Jingle All the Way”.
