ISLAND ARTS SHOOT PROGRAM PREMIERING AT NIFF

SHOOT Teen Film Program

Newport International Film Festival will feature a sixty minute showing of SHOOT's student films. 2 New unreleased SHOOT films will be premiering at the festival, 'The B-4's' and ' Double or Nothing' as well as films made in prior SHOOT classes.

The SHOOT Teen Film Program is sponsored by Island Arts, The Wilcox Foundation and the Newport International Film Festival. The SHOOT Teen Film Program teaches teens the process of digital filmmaking by using a hands on approach. Using state of the art professional digital video cameras and post-production equipment teens learn how to write, film and edit their own film in 12 weeks. The film class is hosted at Video & Vision, 654 Thames Street in Newport, RI and taught by Newport Filmmaker Rocco Michaluk.

'Double or Nothing', which has been featured in The Newport Daily News and The Providence Journal, along with a selection of other short films made by teens, will be presented Saturday, June 7th at 10:30am at Opera House 2. The SHOOT Program will be showing the only films at the Newport International Film Festival made by teens for teens (and adults too!).

School is out and love is in the air as a pair of best friends, Jay and Matt, are about to finish their first year of high school without having had a single date in the new SHOOT film, 'Double or Nothing'. Jay, the more outgoing of the two, finally arranges a double date for the last day of school. Their dates, Kristen and Jamie, are also best friends, and the two most popular girls in school. This is the boys' dream come true and a wonderful way to kick off the summer.

'The B-4's' is a heart warming story about the fall and rise of Newport, RI's hottest jam band The B-4's. After years of practice the B-4's finally land their first big gig at the world famous Coffee House. Due to internal fighting within the group will they be able to pull it all together and make it to the show? Sit back and let the B-4's rock you.

Tickets to the SHOOT Teen Film Program are $10 and can be purchased at the NIFF Box office or at their official website:

www.newportfilmfestival.com

Please book us in your published calendar, and to feature SHOOT at NIFF in your paper or schedule an interview please contact SHOOT's new program manager, Laura "L" Maurus.

Co-Writer Needed for Short Drama (25-40 pages)

This comes to us from Andrew Louis Marnik:

"Basic (very basic) Outline: A disfigured soldier returning from Iraq learns how to be accepted back into society, despite his physical and mental complications.

I aim to shoot it as a short, roughly 25-40 mins, but also write a feature-length script to pitch it once the short has hit the festival circuit. This is a great opportunity for students, new writers, and ones who really want to go in-depth with a character. They can use this email for my contact information."

Artists' Exchange to Present One Act Play Festival

Cranston, RI – The Artists' Exchange is pleased to welcome audiences to The Black Box Theatre for another memorable theatre experience. This June, Artistic Director Rich Morra presents a One Act Play Festival, featuring five original works by local playwrights.

Three of the plays were penned by Pat Hegnauer, cofounder and longtime Artistic Director of Warren's 2nd Story Theatre. Hegnauer, who currently resides in Portsmouth, RI, has directed over 300 plays, and maintains a multi-faceted career as an actor, producer, director, playwright, poet and teacher.

While two of Hegnauer's plays take place inside interrogation rooms, the similarity ends there. Cally's Side is set in Kentucky, where a 15 year old girl is questioned about her father's recent death. In Flat Lining, a young man desperately seeks answers after a not-so-typical heartbreak.

Inner Sight, Hegnauer's third play, features a feisty older couple whose handicaps contribute to an interesting interplay as they reminisce about their years together.

Barbara Schweitzer's Bottomless brings us into a family-owned café and reveals each family member's means of coping in the aftermath of a tragic accident that took place two years prior. Schweitzer has lived in North Smithfield, RI for the past 30 years. Her play SubZero is published in The Writer's Circle Anthology. Other plays have been finalists at City Theatre, Miami, at the Source Festival, DC and Short Play Marathon, Boston. She is also the author of 33 1/3. Bottomless will be her first fully staged play.

Mark Carter, frequent flyer of the Black Box Theatre stage, both as an actor and playwright, brings us Shakespearean Riding Hood, an adaptation Carter created in response to a teacher's criticism of his daughter's writing assignment, which was to modernize the story of Little Red Riding Hood. When consoling his daughter, Carter said aloud, "What does she want, Shakespeare?". This became a lightbulb moment for Carter that birthed a hilarious adaptation of one of the most well-known fairy tales of all time.

Rich Morra, Artistic Director of The Black Box Theatre, says, "I was thrilled by the response from the local playwriting community when we first sent out a call for entries, and I'm proud to showcase these five works that are sure to make for a well-rounded, entertaining and thought-provoking festival."

The One Act Play Festival will run June 12-14 and 19-21. All performances are scheduled for 7pm. Tickets are $15. For additional information, please contact Christina Mealey at 401.490.9475.

Analysis Tax Breaks Flourish; So Do Regional Film Markets

May 21 – BackStage

By: Andrew Salomon

In summer 2002, Chuck Slavin moved to Los Angeles to work as an actor. He lasted six months. "I couldn't make it out there," said the Massachusetts native, who returned home and now lives in Weymouth, a town about 15 miles from Boston. "I didn't have a car; I wasn't set up; I couldn't make any money."

The setback, however, might prove to be the turning point of his career. Because of state tax incentives enacted in New England and New York, film and television production is booming in the region, and Slavin is benefiting. "I've pretty much landed on every movie that's come to Boston" since early last year, he said. "If I haven't worked on one, it's only because I've been working so steadily on the others."

Several of his jobs were background work, but he has also earned speaking parts and featured-extra roles in projects such as The Lonely Maiden, Pink Panther 2, and The Bronx Is Burning. No matter the quality of the jobs, they were good enough for Slavin to quit working as a waiter 18 months ago. He is also close to qualifying for health insurance from the Screen Actors Guild for the first time.

Tax credits have changed other actors' lives substantially. Beth Campbell of Old Lyme, Conn., has been working as a full-time actor for the past two years, a period that roughly coincides with the start of tax rebates for production in her state. She said she hopes to have her SAG card by the end of the month.

Ellen Becker-Gray and her husband, Rob Gray, are also working exclusively as actors. Four years ago they sold their house in Massachusetts and moved to Rhode Island, which at the time had the most generous tax incentives in New England. "We're so busy, we haven't had time to go to a movie," Becker-Gray said. "And when we do go, we're so distracted by our friends up on the screen that we have to watch it again to remember what the film was about."

Follow the Money

Tax incentives targeted at film and television production have been enacted in 40 states and Washington, D.C. -- nearly half of them within the past three years, largely in response to the incentives offered in Canada and overseas. New York City and New York state started incentive programs in 2005; the state tax credit was recently tripled and, partially as a result, Gotham lured the series Ugly Betty from Los Angeles and picked up two new shows as well: Fringe and Life on Mars.

The tax breaks are politically popular because they offer states a return on their investment, one of the best examples being New York's. In the first two years of its state and city tax incentives, $42.5 million in credits were issued and $2.45 billion in direct economic activity resulted, said Julianne Cho, associate commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre & Broadcasting.

The incentives are not without their problems. Mark Smith, former Louisiana film commissioner, pleaded guilty last year to accepting bribes from an unidentified person who stood to benefit from the program. In Rhode Island, regulations were tightened May 12 after The Providence Journal reported that Hard Luck, a straight-to-video movie starring Wesley Snipes and Cybill Shepherd, received a $2.65 million credit on the $11 million the production company reported spending in the state, though only $1.9 million of that money went to Rhode Island vendors. (Most states require that companies purchase a majority of goods and services in-state.) Last November, Connecticut attorney general Richard Blumenthal began an investigation into the possible steering of film contracts to one company in Stamford.

However, incentives are here to stay, at least for a few more years. The growth has been so rapid, it is difficult to monitor. Two months after it was posted, the list of state incentive programs on the website of the Producers Guild of America's FilmUSA Committee (www.filmusa.org) is obsolete: Georgia's and Michigan's tax incentives have more than doubled and New York's has tripled.

"It's an economic boom in so many ways," said Kathleen Courtney, chair of FilmUSA and a producer based in Los Angeles. "There's a big trickle-down effect. Not only is it employing more people in those individual states&hellipthe resources are being developed with every production that comes to town. The more people learn, the more people grow, and the infrastructure gets stronger."

And actors such as Becker-Gray and Slavin are trying to strengthen their states' film markets. Becker-Gray was one of 150 people who recently testified against a cap on incentives before Rhode Island lawmakers. Slavin, in addition to acting, auditioning, and making short films for the Internet, is lobbying a Massachusetts state lawmaker to ensure that sound stages planned for Weymouth and Plymouth get built.

Fierce Competition

Many of the state programs involve only hotel tax rebates for stays longer than 30 days and sales tax rebates on goods and services purchased in-state. But since 2002, when Louisiana began offering a dollar-for-dollar tax credit (up to 25 percent of a production's budget), other state governments have opened their wallets substantially to attract work. In 2005, New York's combined credits totaled 15 percent of a production's below-the-line budget if 75 percent of shooting took place in the city. In two years, the number of shooting days in the city jumped nearly 50 percent.

Last year, though, Connecticut countered with a 30 percent tax credit on all expenses, including some of the salaries of above-the-line talent: actors, writers, directors, and producers. More than 20 big-budget productions shot there in 2007, while New York production fell about 17 percent. Some of the decline is attributable to the writers strike, but according to a February report in Crain's New York Business, New York state lost $400 million in feature film production to Connecticut last year and a combined $350 million to Rhode Island and Massachusetts. To stem the losses, New York tripled its state tax incentive from 10 percent to 30 percent this spring.

The State of California

While states in the Northeast, as well as Louisiana, New Mexico, and Arizona, reap the benefits of incentive programs, Southern Californians are losing work as production migrates. The number of shooting days in Los Angeles has dropped by more than 40 percent in the past 10 years, according to FilmL.A., a nonprofit production coordination company, although TV shooting days have more than doubled in that time and commercial shooting has increased by 9 percent.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger railed against California's diminishing production at a news conference May 9, shortly after the announcement that Ugly Betty would return to New York (its pilot was shot mostly at Silvercup Studios in Queens in 2006). Speaking of other states' incentive programs, he told reporters, "Their business is booming, they're making a lot of money, and they're putting everyone to work and we don't."

Though he has been criticized for lagging on the issue in the past, Schwarzenegger is again pushing for a tax-incentive program for California. Assembly Bill 1696 passed the lower house in 2007 but failed in the Senate. While the measure enjoys bipartisan support in Sacramento, it also has opponents at each end of the political spectrum, said Assemblyman Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank). "The folks on the left will say, 'Don't give any kind of corporate subsidies at the same time that we're cutting services to the poor,' " he told Back Stage. "And then the folks on the right will say, 'Why should this be limited to the entertainment industry? It should apply to the oil industry as well.' "

Complicating the drive for tax incentives is the state's record budget deficit, which could reach as high as $20 billion. But despite such a climate, Krekorian said a tax break for the film and television industry isn't impossible. "The governor gives me some hope," he said. "I wouldn't say cautious optimism, but I would say cautious hope."

Videographer/Film Maker Needed for Local Documentary/Pilot Project (RI/MA)

Volunteer Services for Animals is seeking a student film maker or video enthusiast who would be willing to shoot and edit a 20 minute (approx) documentary video about a Rhode Island woman who has instituted ground breaking training programs in local animal shelters. Sue Parker's programs, based at 6 different regional shelters, train volunteers to in turn train homeless shelter dogs-making them more socialized, obedient and ultimately more appealing to adopters.

THIS 'DOCUMENTARY' WOULD BE SUBMITTED AS A PILOT TO ANIMAL PLANET WHO HAS EXPRESSED INTEREST IN EXPLORING THIS TOPIC AS A FUTURE SHOW.

VSA may be able to procure a fee for the film maker, but is a small non-profit organization with limited funding. We are hoping to appeal to a student or someone who could benefit from the experience and from having this film as a portfolio piece. Would probably involve 2-4 weekend shooting days plus editing.
