World Premiere of 10 Local Films

15th Annual "A Place Called Sacramento" Movies Showcase Filmmaking Talent

It all started as a script writing competition and it ended Sunday with the big screen world premiere of 10 original Sacramento movies. Each features local stories, places, actors and crew in Access Sacramento's 15th "A Place Called Sacramento" Film Festival.

Producer's Choice Award
Audience Favorite Award








Since all the films are made by writers who are already winners, only two specialty awards are presented each year at the Festival.  Writer/Director Thuy Pham's "Two Pods and a Pea" won both the Producer's Choice and the Audience Favorite honors.
Lobby display by "The Shadow Over Sacramento" Writer Daniel Pascaul (Left) and two of his actors.

Access Sacramento is particularly grateful this year to SacCasting.com for its sponsorship of the phone-text system that tallied instantly the Audience favorite award vote--another FIRST for "A Place Called Sacramento."
Access Sacramento Executive Director and Host Gary Martin explains the new text voting system. 













More information on this year's "A Place Called Sacramento is available at AccessLocal.tv.  

Low-Power Radio Station
KUBU 96.5 FM Launch Near

The Access Sacramento Board of Director's anticipates a red-ribbon official launch of LPFM radio station KUBU 96.5 FM on Thursday, Nov. 13 at 11 a.m. in a live simulcast broadcast from Access Sacramento's home in the  Coloma Community Center.

Another landmark piece of the installation puzzle should be completed today when contractor North State Electrical completes power and conduit work at the transmitter site in downtown Sacramento.
A new hole in the five-story roof to pass the cabling through to the KUBU Antenna.

The electrical contractor yesterday and today has been installing the piping that will carry the feed line from the transmitter up to the antenna. It's just one of the many steps required before testing of the radio station can begin.


Nearly 200 feet of feed line is ready for installation after Access Sacramento Engineer Tim Parish and Radio Coordinator Shane Carpenter begin to install the transmitter and necessary control equipment.

Mark your calendar for Thursday, Nov. 13 at 11 a.m. for the ribbon-cutting Launch of KUBU. More information in the weeks ahead.

Friday Night Football Resumes
Game of the Week Presents
Casa Roble at Vista Del Lago

The Game of the Week Crew returns to Folsom this Friday for a Capital Athletic League match up between the Casa Roble Rams and the Vista Del Lago Eagles.

Play by Play Announcer Will James, Color Analyst Coach Jim Dimino and Sideline Reporter Rick Stewart call the action Live at 7p.m.

The storyline of this confrontation involving two unranked teams goes beyond the importance of a game between tough conference opponents.

 

For host Vista del Lago, one of the newest schools in the Sac-Joaquin Section in its 7th year of varsity competition, it's a matter of breaking a stretch of domination Casa Roble has held over the Eagles throughout the history of their head-to-head battles.
