Film Making

The guest list for this week's Prescott Film Festival just got bigger!

Arizona State Historian Marshall Trimble is scheduled to be one of the featured guests during the Prescott Film Festival's screening of the hilarious documentary Blood into Wine at the Yavapai College Performance Hall, August 7th, 7:00pm.

According to sources close to the production, this is the last festival screening of the award winning film. Co-writers/ co-directors Ryan Page and Christopher Pomeranke and wine expert Paula Woolsey are also scheduled to attend and be at a question and answer period following the film.

Local radio personality Andrew Johnson-Schmit, who helped build the vineyard, will be the MC at this event.

Before the film there are a very limited number of tickets available for a wine tasting of Arizona Stronghold wines. Special guests from the film are scheduled to attend.

The Prescott Film Festival starts this Friday morning, August 6th, 9:00am at the newly restored Elks Opera House and Theatre, and continues with films all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday at three Prescott locations.

The first film of the festival, Expecting Mary, has a star-studded cast that includes Elliott Gould, Della Reese, Cloris Leachman, Gene Simmons, Cybil Shepherd and Lanie Kazan, among many others. The Producer of the film, Kim Waltrip, and Executive Producer, James Casey, are scheduled to attend the screening.

At this point the festival has 27 guests scheduled to attend including producers, writers, directors, actors and crew! Forty films; shorts and features will be screening over the three day festival.

The Opening Night Film is The Red Machine, which will screen at 6:50pm at The Elks Opera House and Theatre. The film will be proceeded by a performance from classical vocalist Lecia Breen. Ms. Breen will sing songs from films with great music!

The Red Machine is set in Washington, DC, 1935: It's the height of the Great Depression. A young thief is caught, jailed, bailed out by a U.S. Navy spy, and forced to help him steal a brand new device that the Japanese military is using to encode its top-secret messages.

During the mission, the two discover that they are pawns in a larger game. Together, they devise an intricate but risky scheme to outwit the people trying to use them. Co-Directors Stephanie Argy and Alec Boehm are scheduled to attend with actors Lee Perkins, Donal Thoms-Capello, Madoka and Josia Lee.

Two local films and filmmakers will be at the festival: "Resuscitate" from Producer/Director Ken Gregg and "A Blue Uncertain Buzz" from Writer/Director Maureen Eich VanWalleghan.
