The 10 winning script writers in Access Sacramento's 17th "A Place Called Sacramento Film Festival are gathering their casts and crew for this year's films. Production this summer will put 10 original films onto the big screen on the upcoming Oct. 8 world premiere.

Artwork for the films is starting to come in as production begins:

Afternoon Delight

"Afternoon Delight" by Danna Wilberg
-- When love is in the air... some things are best kept secret.
 
"The Black Carnation" by
J. Thomas Schuessler
-- The secret of life and death arrives like a thunderbolt, but one man may find real truth in an encounter with "The Black Carnation."
 
"Capitol Treasure" by John Maniaci -- Clues discovered about Gold Rush era money missing for more than a century spark a quest, but can modern day treasure hunters unravel the biggest secret?

"City of Trees"
by Eric Sanderson
-- Letting the leaves fall where they may simply isn't an option when a young girl and her friends put virtue in front of safety. 

"Coming Back" by Scott Slotterback
-- "Coming back" when you're broken takes time, but a dose of love could be the best medicine.

"Faster" by Chris Henry -- Jimmy Rodriquez is racing into the future while relying on his past.
 
"Happy Accidents" by Nick Coleman -- They screwed up their marriage, now they're screwing up their divorce - and feeling just GREAT about it.
 
The Last Laugh
"The Last Laugh" by Darrell Scheidegger
-- Murder is no laughing matter... except when it's funny.
 
"A Neighborhood Lost - Sacramento's Japantown" by Jeffrey Dym -- A downtown Sacramento neighborhood is born from a need for community, thrives in the face of racism, only to be destroyed in the name of redevelopment. 
"Regrets" by Larry Menard -- Forgiveness or absolution.  For an ex-con, there can be a very thin line between the two.
