Why:
Louder! Faster! Funnier!!!
Laughter is good medicine and TV has provided the Sit-Com to
administer
that medicine.
Comedy is like having a ball thrown at you. You have got to catch
it and
throw it back - otherwise it hits you in the head, bounces on the
floor a
few times and the game is over. You've got to be smart enough to
know where
the jokes are and skilled enough to make them land.
It's all about timing and trusting your instincts. Even though
comedy is
instinctual, the craft of comedy must be honed. That's where Mary
Lou
comes in.
She will share with you the secrets behind successful situation
comedy...
what goes on behind the camera to create a great sit-com.
Situation Comedy or Sit-Com has its own rules, vocabulary and
exercises.
You will start with understanding the basics of a joke and comedic
timing.
Find out why K's and P's are funny letters and how comedy travels
in "3's".
Learn to avoid adding "handles" or why "embellishing" can ruin joke
and much
more. Mary Lou will teach you how to identify the jokes in a
script and give
you audition tips/advice for getting the job.
There is a real artistry involved in bringing Sit-Com material to
life.
The stakes are so high in Sit-Com, you have to come to the set
already
knowing your job - there is little room for on-the-job
training.
Friday night begins with an interactive "Find the Joke"
exercise.
You will also do 7-10 short exercises to practice the frequent
kinds of
jokes that occur in sitcoms. Everyone works! It's fun, fast-paced
and
highly instructional. And this is just Friday night - Join
us!
Friday only - $75
7:30pm to 10:30pm
------------------------------
3 Cameras... The Sit-Com Performance Master Class
Mary Lou KNOWS funny. Comedy is harder than drama. The timing,
fast-pace,
the rhythm - it is truly an art form. Comedic timing is something
that can
be learned and Mary Lou Belli is an expert.
This is a fantastic chance to practice your sit-com rhythm and
timing in the
context of a scene on camera.
You rehearse it, shoot it and have an Emmy Award-winning director
edit it
live as you work. See playback and get critiqued. Apply what you
learn in the
first scene to the next scenes you do. Participants work multiple
times.
Saturday and Sunday you will get a Sit-Com script. You will block
it and
memorize. Then we go to camera!
There will be a three camera set-up and a switcher. Mary Lou will
direct
the scene and call the cues, just like a real set. She will direct
the actors,
the scene and blocking. You will take home a DVD of your complete
Sit-Com
scene!
Script. Memorize. Block. Rehearse. Adjust. Shoot. Edit. Print - all
in a
weekend, Whew!
If you love comedy or just want to add to your acting arsenal, Mary
Lou is
a must take. Join us for an intense, jam-packed, knowledge-filled
weekend
equipped with loads of laughs. Benefit from Mary Lou's years of
experience
and become a stronger, funnier actor.
Friday - October 1, 2010 - 7:30pm to 6:30pm
Saturday & Sunday - October 2-3, 2010 - 10am to 6pm
(Sat & Sun limited to 18 actors)

FILM
FESTIVALS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLEARWATER FILM FESTIVAL AND iNDUSTRY TRADE SHOW
Thanks for getting the word out about this. This is our chance to
show the world that
we have advanced production capabilities in Tampa Bay and Central
Florida.
We will be screening 72 films from around the world and have
invited over 200
film industry guests.
Our opening night films originated in Tampa, Spain and
Australia and the
Australians say they will be here. I have at least 20 more RSVPs
confirmed
from around the country and many more on the way I am sure.
A trade show is some of the best advertising a production or
rental company can
possibly have. Bringing decision makers in film face to face
always works best.
You get a lot more quality exposure in person than you do over the
internet.
Please pass this info along to everybody you can. This is shaping
up to be an
event not to be missed.
In our quest for excellence in creating the newest film
festival on the planet we
have decided to take one step further than you will find at most
inaugural
exhibitions.
The Film Boutique is the beginning of what we intend to become a
film market.
While traditional film markets may offer festival attendees
hundreds of options in
dealmaking with industry pros, we have to start somewhere, so we
can't promise a
thing other than space for you to park yourself and promote your
films.
The Southeast U.S. does not currently have such an outlet for
filmmakers and
distributors. If you can't make it to Colorado, California, Canada
or Cannes the
TCFF Film Boutique may be the right place for you to market your
current title
or slate of films to the general public. In the future, our goal
is to develop this
into a full fledged film market and trade show.
Right now it is an idea. A place for you to sell your movie. A
place for a production
company to set up shop and say "Hire us". What will it become?
Time will tell.
How beneficial will it be
to your business? There is only one way to find out.
As attendees enter and exit the Largo Cultural Center, they will be
invited to tour
the "Film Boutique" where they may learn more about you and your
film and
purchase a copy. This will be set up as a mini-convention hall
during the festival
September 29 - October 3 on THU 9/30 - FRI 10/1 - SAT 10/2 from
Noon - 6 PM.
Your entire cost for all three days is $200 for single film
promotion or $350 for
producers and distributors with multiple titles. This is a flat
rate whether you use
your space all three days or not.
If you would like to have a table set up in a 10" x 10" space, we
have up to 20
spots available. To reserve your spot, please submit the
application form and pay
for your space with the Paypal button on this page, or to make
arrangements for
a more dominant presence, call us at 727-599-5137
We are doing everything possible to encourage the participation of
film distributors
in our first year and feel this may be a step in the right
direction. We have accepted
dozens of films from around the world this year, many with
filmmakers in tow.
Whether you are screening at this years event or not, The Film
Boutique is your
opportunity to gain visibility.
We encourage you display your work, do good business and be
profitable.
Thank you for your participation.
Sign Up Today!

Film Boutique FAQs
What was the Film Boutique like last year? How many people were
there?
The Clearwater Film Festival and the Film Boutique did not exist
last year. This is
brand new.
What do I get for $200? What about the $350?
You get an 8 foot table with chairs in a 10" x 10" space with an
electrical outlet.
Although the accommodations are Spartan, you must rely on your
creativity to sell
your title. Bring with you and display whatever promotional
material you feel you
need. Don't forget your extension cord.
Why do I have to pay more if I have more titles? It's the same
space, right?
Right, but we are trying to give fledgling filmmakers a break here,
who obviously
compete on a different level than a production company or
distributor with multiple
titles. You're not scared of a little competition from a filmmaker
with just one movie,
are you?
Why does it cost so much? Why is it so cheap?
Glad you asked. Well, for one thing, we're covering your insurance
and the building
rental. On the other hand, it is our first time doing this,
festival and all and we just
don't know how many people are going to show up. One thing is for
sure. People
who go to film festivals like movies, so we're pretty confident
this is a worthwhile
setup.
What if I don't sell any DVDs?
If you can't sell one single DVD at a film festival, it might just
be the movie.
Can I set up a TV and a DVD player?
Yes. If you need help with rental equipment, please let us
know.
Can I have a backdrop and decorate my space?
You can bring anything you can fit in your 10" x 10" space and
decorate it any way
you like, but you are responsible for your own set-up and take down
and there are
no on site shipping services available.
Will my stuff be safe?
You should always exercise caution and common sense in high traffic
situations. The
convention space will be secured at 6:00 PM and reopened at Noon
each day. TVs,
DVD players and hardware may be left overnight, just like at any
other trade show.
Security is provided by Largo Cultural Center and Largo
Police.
What if I don't have any films but want to sell or showcase
something else?
Anything related to the film industry will be acceptable. Lighting,
camera equipment,
acting classes, headshot photography, even comic books are good
examples.
Luggage, kitchen appliances, jewelry or fragrances are examples of
things
unacceptable. Pornographic material is not allowed.

Eric Raddatz is a spark-plug visionary. He has been an active
player in the
Southwest Florida arts community for many years, producing several
independent
short films and appearing in other larger budget feature motion
pictures.
He is the founder of the Fort Myers and Naples International Film
Festivals,
CEO of the Naples International Film Production Association,
currently serving
as the Executive Director of the former. Eric is the Presentation
Editor at
Florida Weekly and has previously worked at Gulfshore Life and The
News-Press
winning numerous awards for all three in the realms of design
& presentation.
He most recently has worked producing The Driskell Defense
with
Alan Kenny-Rudolph in Lee and Collier counties and now is shooting
a
documentary on local Urban Expressionist art. Yet he's still hungry
for more.
Says Raddatz, "I want to see another industrial revolution, if you
will.
But one that Samuel Slater-the father of American industry-could
not even
have dreamed up. Not one founded in textile mills, steam, iron, oil
or
electricity, but one based in film."
Not content with the acclaimed success of the Naples International
Film
Festival, which brought award-winning international films and
filmmakers to
Collier County, Eric sees the potential that Southwest Florida has
to become
a center of film industry activity. But it's not only the miles of
pristine
beaches and a vibrant tropical paradise that should attract the
attention of
filmmakers. The area is filled with talent and incentive.
The Fort Myers Film Festival, founded by Eric Raddatz and slated to
take
place March 24-27, 2011 at the luxurious Sidney & Berne Davis
Art Center
in Fort Myers, is an intelligent independent filmmaker's preferred
event to
showcase the finest local and international cinematic works.
Surrounded and supported by an edgy, professional crowd with a
fine
appreciation for the art of film in the quaint and newly
refurbished downtown
area, also known as the River District, this festival is getting
exciting
attention and steaming along to become a historical anchor to the
city. Along
with feature, documentary and shorts divisions, special categories
spanning
faith, diversity and strictly local will enrich the festival with
vibrant
intellectualism.
"I am honored to have such support from the city of Fort Myers and
many art
and business moguls in the community," Eric Raddatz, the founder
and Executive
Director offers respectfully. "Watching artistic visions come to
fruition
proves my greatest and most sincerest satisfaction to the ultimate
benefit
of the artistic community in which we live. Cineasts, filmmakers
and all who
appreciate the art of film will be happy to know we have an outlet
for the
creation, promulgation and public consideration of international
and locally
produced pieces."
Eric birthed the Naples International Film Festival, serving as
Executive
Director its inaugural year in 2009. The festival featured
award-winning
international films, including The Cove, which afterwards went on
to win an
Oscar. The festival reports to have raised $900,000 in revenue to
the city
that year, earning awards from local media as 'best festival in
town,'
unifying the artistic film community and securing itself as a must
festival
to watch and attend.
The Naples International Film Production Association (NIFPA) has
united
filmmakers and created a potent organization of professionals
dedicated to
producing quality films. Already working in the industry and
exercising their
talents, they form an army of revolutionaries ready to make
Southwest Florida
into one of the most desirable film communities in the country.
Eric
understands what this confluence of talent and circumstances means
for the
artistic community if it can be harnessed.
"It really is just a matter of time now before we get greater
projects in
state," says Raddatz. "[We have] local filmmakers like John
Scoular, Lance
Julian, and Elam Stolzfus, John Biffar and Flip Minott whose
independent
films have done well in film festivals around the country. Not to
mention
the quality actors, musicians and technicians who would like to be
able to
fulfill their greater potential and nurture their artistic
side."
In addition to an outstanding pool of talent, recent developments
in
Tallahassee have made the film industry an attractive addition to
the local
economy. In April 2010 the Florida House of Representatives passed
The
Entertainment Industry Economic Development Act, which creates tax
incentives
to those areas which are able to bring more productions to town.
These
incentives have the possibility of spurring entertainment job
growth and
contributing to the ailing Southwest Florida economy. The region is
uniquely
equipped to be able to handle such growth.
"Combine [the economic incentives] with a keenly focused and highly
passionate
group of industry professionals available here, completely
equipped to handle
the largest of projects in the one of the most unappreciated
internationally-known tropical backdrops and you have got
something that
will ignite. I guarantee it."
The communities of Collier and Lee Counties have already showed a
firm
commitment to the arts. They are already the home of
internationally renowned
painters, musicians, authors, entertainers, and filmmakers. Yet
it's time to
take it to the next level. It's time to make Naples and Ft. Myers
places where
artists go to create, not retire. It's time to take the already
vibrant arts
community and infuse it with new life, a life that will create
opportunities
to make outstanding films from a pool of talent that rivals any
area in the
country. It's time to make the Paradise Coast the place to create
films.
Is this all a little idealistic? Perhaps Eric is silly for thinking
that it's
even possible. He answers with a resounding "no."
"I will guarantee you that Rockefeller, Edison, and Carnegie were
called
dreamers. Renegades even. Probably even strange. But, really,
looking back,
who really cares what they were called? Nobody."
Still, isn't that too much to expect from a town full of retirees
and
part-time residents? Again, Eric says "no," and compares it to
Hollywood's
ascension in the early decades of the 20th Century.
In 1911, Hollywood was second to New York in motion picture
production. But
in three short years the city captured the top spot, a place it
continues to
hold as the largest revenue-grossing film city in the world. In
2009,
Hollywood's box-office brought in a record-setting $10.6 billion,
fueled by
the growing international market for American films. In fact, audio
and visual
recording media is the second-fastest growing U.S. export. This
means that
bringing more of the film industry to Southwest Florida creates
jobs that are
in an increased demand in a continually more-integrated global
market.
Florida has already been home to many movies and shows, Miami Vice,
Oceans 11,
C.S.I. Miami, The Glades and Burn Notice to name a few. Yet the
potential is
so much greater than has been realized, especially for our
area.
"Now, at last, with cameras in hand, we will have the opportunity
to fertilize
and invigorate our economy," says Raddatz. "United we can innovate
greater
methods to create jobs, to entertain, educate and inspire. So I
say-Raise your
voices with me now! Viva La Film Revolution."
Are you ready?
