A Place Called Sacramento
Premieres 10 Short Films
Ten original Sacramento based films received their world premiere before more than 600 supporters at Access Sacramento's 14th Annual A Place Called Sacramento Film Festival Sunday at The Crest Theatre. The festival culminates a script writing and storytelling contest that began last April with the submission and selection of 10 screenplays for production.
All of the films involved locations, actors and stories based in the Sacramento region.
Writer/Producer/Actor Jessica Benz film "Resolution" won the Audience Favorite award after ballots were collected and counted at the conclusion of the event.

Her film tells the story of a young woman whose desire to be beach-bikini ready conflicts with the availability of New Year's eve dessert-a specialty red velvet cupcake from Sacramento's "Icing on the cupcake."
The film was directed by Diana Erwin, who also was a screen play writing instructor for Access Sacramento in early 2013 before the festival's films began production.
The A Place Called Sacramento film festival's other specialty award, the Producer's Choice Award, went to film "Tailypo" written by Dwight Taylor. "Tailypo" is the story of three young men whose discovery of some American River debris that turns into a surprising late night encounter with its owner.

The Folsom Bulldogs juggernaut guided by Co-Head Coaches Kris Richardson and Troy Taylor, and fueled by the brilliant passing of Junior Quarterback Jake Browning, continue to demolish all opponents scoring an average of 53 points per game. Browning has multiple games where he's passed for four or more TD's.

Video Highlights: Pioneer Sneaks Past Cordova In Game Of The Week Thriller
Cordova knew it could happen. Pioneer had used the play the week before. But that didn't prevent Pioneer from using the same halfback-option pass play three times to rack up 95 yards and set up two second-half touchdowns and snatch victory 14-13 before the Cordova home crowd.
Access Sacramento's Will James and Jim Dimino narrate video highlights from Access Sacramento's week-six. See the video here: Game of the Week.
Halfback Anthony Bosser passed three times to wide receiver Donte Haulcy , picking up 95 yards and nearly half of the Patriots 218 yards in total offense.
Once in the closing seconds of the third quarter and again with less than two-minutes in the game, those passes set up the chance for Bosser to cap the drive with a 1 yard touchdown runs, and then a right-end scamper for the PAT to edge the Lancers.
Access Sacramento's Game of the week broadcast live every Friday night at 7 p.m. on Comcast and SureWest Cable channel 17 and AT&T U-Verse Channel 99. The games are streamed live at those same times from www.accesssacramento.org. Push Watch TV 17.
