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.

Maybe you’ll see me there doing the robot and making movies in my head.

At the Townhouse Lounge.  See Sacramento Scoop for artists and times.  Sacramento Press has more info on the origins of the festival.

Awhile back, I had the opportunity to  see Sacramento filmmaker Mike Carroll shoot a scene from his feature Nightbeats.  I was a fan of his feature Year, so I jumped at the chance to shoot a small amount of behind the scenes footage, which is included in the video above. 

Mike is unique in that he does one man, no-budget filmmaking; he writes, directs, produces, lights, and edits his films.  He also gives workshops on his process, and has plans for a book.  Obviously, he must be doing something right because Nightbeats was accepted into the Sacramento Film and Music Festival. 

The festival runs from July 24- August 2, and although the schedule of films for the festival has not been posted yet, from what I’ve heard, there should be a lot of really good films this year, including the Sundance award winning mockumentary, Paper Hearts, starring Charlyne Yi and Michael Cera (Arrested Development, Super Bad, Year One).  See the trailer below.

Also, I heard that the festival is looking for volunteers, so if you are into film and are interested, you can contact them on their website.
