West Coast Christian Filmmakers Networking Tour
Last week I had the great opportunity to meet Nathaniel Bluedorn, founder of the forum ChristianFilmmakers.org. He’s on a tour trying to help Christian Filmmakers network. Unfortunately, only two of us in the Salt Lake area responded to his message, me and Kurt Eilander. Even more unfortunate, Kurt couldn’t make it to dinner due to work.

Hello West Coast & other Christian Filmmakers
I am interested in showing your films at our festival March 2010 at the New Hope Foursquare Church, Red Bluff, Ca.
My vision of this project is for an outreach to my local community. At this point, DVDs will work best. I would like to network with you on
available films. Please understand that this is not intented to be a money making venture. I want to keep my costs low.
At this point, I want to feature several short films from Christian filmmakers and two or more longer films on a weekend. I hope to encourage Christian student filmmakers,and others and promote the art form. I intend to develop a method of providing feedback on their projects, either through a written film review, or audience response forms, etc. My goal is to create a unique annual event here in Red Bluff,Ca.
The purpose of the Brickyard Creek Christian Film Festival is to draw individuals to the Lord Jesus Christ, and the ministry of the Church.
Once we establish an audience for this venue, I would like to recruit a couple of churches in town to feature different films on the same weekend to make the festival as more of a community event. It will be fun to watch it grow.
We will not be charging for admission, or a film submission fee. Films will not be duplicated or sold.
Our plan to sell snack items during the event to cover the cost of promotional materials.
God bless you all in your desire and your efforts to make Christ known. I hope to hear from you.
If you have filmmakers-professional, will be professional, high school, college- who would like their films shown here, please pass on our contact information. Please only original material-music, images, please.Thank you. Jay
