Sacramento painter, David Garibaldi is premiering his documentary “Walking Dreams” and performing live at the Sacramento Film and Music Festival on July 29th at 7:30pm at the Crest Theater.  I met David in 2003 when he used to paint on Wednesday nights at the Fox and Goose. Even then, before his success, his story was pretty inspirational.

His paintings from the night will be auctioned off with the proceeds to benefit the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commision and their Advance Commuinty Through Arts and Culture program.  See the trailer for Waking Dreams below and go to his blog to purchase tickets and get the rest of the story.

As a follow up to this post, Sacramento area filmmakers, KeJo Production’s thriller Rogue River is screening at the Sacramento Film and Music Festival on July 31st at 8pm at the Crest Theater.  There will be an after-party across the street at the Cosmo Cafe, following the screening.  Noticeably missing is a trailer for the movie.  Come on guys, post a trailer, so I can link to it!  But for now, below is a behind the scenes video.

In addition, here is the schedule for the rest of the Sacramento Film and Music Festival.

Groupon’s deal for the day is $49 all screening pass for the Sacramento Film and Music Festival ($120 value).  There is some fine print (if you aren’t familiar with Groupon, here is how it works).  You have five days to get in on the deal- so hurry.

David W. Valetin is a VFX coordinator and producer for the likes of Quentin Tarentino’s Grind-House, Hero with Jet-Li , Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World, Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace and The Green Mile, and will talk about his experiences in the industry, April 2, 2010, 6:30-8:30 pm at the Studio Center (915 Fee Drive, Sacramento, CA)

David will also be leading a discussion at the Sacramento Film Festival, at the Digital Odyssey Conference April 24th, on new methods of promoting films.
