Filmmakers to Showcase the Beauty of Canton, Farmington Valley ...

Area residents will have the chance to watch several locally produced short films, trailers and music videos at the Farmington Valley Film Commission 3rd Annual Film Fete & Mixer on Friday. The films featured were all shot in Avon, Burlington, Canton, East Granby, Farmington, Granby, New Hartford, and/or Simsbury.

The venue is Collinsville's Bridge Street Live on 41 Bridge St. ? a platinum sponsor for the event, along with Mitchell Auto Group, of Simsbury, and The Hair Loft, of Avon.

The event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. with the musical entertainment of singer-songwriter Cassandra Kubinski, who also plays keyboard. There will be a cash bar.

Film screenings begin at 8 p.m., emceed by Chion Wolf, a WNPR radio personality on The Colin McEnroe Show and Farmington native.

The commission, a nonprofit that "facilitates the production of film, television, commercials and advertising" in the region, according to its website,?is largely to thank for a push to draw filmmakers to the region. In addition to fostering a local creative network, it provides information for filmmakers on its website like film permit costs and local resources from actors and filmmakers to businesses.

"We want to bring people into the Farmington Valley to film and show them we have talented people here," said Avon resident Nancy Anstey, who co-founded the commission with Elizabeth Banco, of Simsbury, about three-and-a-half years ago.

Filmmakers from the Valley and as far as California have contacted the commission about their projects, Anstey said.?

Brian Spectre, Doug Tubach, Steve Emirzian and Rob Hyner judged the submissions for the film festival and decided which ones to accept, Anstey said. The amount of film submissions have grown since receiving nine the first year.

Avon resident Sean Stall, of Avon-based post-production studio Ironik Design & Post, Inc., put the film submissions onto a final DVD for the screening, Anstey said.?

The event costs $20 for adults and $15 for students. Tickets can be purchased online at www.41bridgestreet.com or via phone. 860-676-8878.
