CUT! Film Festival celebrates film and those who create them...  I have been notified that LiquidSPACE in conjunction with Graykin Entertainment and GALS Charitable Foundation will be presenting CUT! Film Festival 2009! The festival is a benefit and celebration of cinema dedicated to the art and imagination that goes into the creation of film.

The festival will be taking place the weekend of March 14-15, 2009 at the historic Aero Theatre, 1328 Montana Ave. at 14th Street, Santa Monica, California.  

What is neat about this festival is that "from concept to pre-production, production and post, you’ll hear the back-story of how a concept became screenplay and how screenplay became film".

My main interest in this Festival is on an project that I blogged about before, Code Name: Zeus.  There are several other projects that are presented at this festival, but lack of space in this blog format keeps me from mentioning them. I'll leave you to check out The Cut! Film Festival blog site at http://www.cutfilmfestival.org.  

My main interest at the Festival would be on SATURDAY, MARCH 14th, when...

"The festival kicks off with Graykin Entertainment presenting Code Name: Zeus with its creator, DANIEL VEST. A big hit at Comic Con 2008, Code Name: Zeus interweaves the past with the future, pulling in the mythology of the Greeks into a future world where Sam, taking on the code-name Zeus, must master his own past to lead his team of deified avatars to uncover the mystery that threatens New Olympus and the very fabric of the universe. Daniel and guests will unveil the trailer for the very first time, discuss the origins of Code Name: Zeus, and how it went from concept to reality.e a cinema lover’s dream!"

I have been told that all the screenings and panels will be followed by a 'Meet and Greet Session' with the guests.  So for those of you able to attend this Festival bring your camera and a sharpie and most of all, enjoy the weekend seeing as many programs and panels as you can! 

Also, there is an important raffle going on prior to the Festival... winner receives one (1) Platinum VIP ticket to attend all events including the VIP Party being held on March 13th.  Check out this link for details:  http://www.cutfilmfestival.org/raffle.html
