The Motion Picture Association of Utah Forum will take place
Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
7:00 p.m.
Redman Movies and Stories
1075 S. 700 W
Salt Lake City
(801) 978-9292.
Light refreshments will be served. I encourage each and every member of the MPAU to attend, and I ask that each of you bring a friend who is an industry member but has not yet joined the MPAU.
The entire Board of the MPAU will be present, as well as members of the Utah Film Commission, including Marshall Moore. I expect to discuss the current state of our industry including upcoming productions which have received the Utah Motion Picture Incentive. I want to report on our recent meeting with Governor Herbert, as well as our recent meeting with Spencer Eccles, the new Executive Director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development. I also want to detail our plans to you for the upcoming Legislative Session. As with all Forums, however, the main goal is to give you a chance to express your thoughts and concerns on an in person face-to-face basis. These have been difficult times for all of us, and one of the results has been a considerable amount of misinformation being disseminated. I think it is important to clear the air.
Sincerely,
Don Schlain, President

Environmental Film Series - Wednesday
Swanner EcoCenter's Environmental Film Series is featuring WE SHALL REMAIN: THE PAIUTE this week. The film will screen this Wednesday, November 11th at about 6:30pm.
From Swanner:
"This KUED production is one piece of a powerful five-part series on the American Indian Tribes of the Great Basin Region we now know as Utah. The provocative project establishes Native history as an essential part of U.S. history.
The thirty minute film will be followed by a discussion led by Forrest Cuch, Director of the Utah Division of Indian Affairs, as well as Southern Paiute representative Carmen Martineau, and the film's producer Sally Shaum.
Arrive at 6:30 pm to enjoy light appetizers and talk with our guests. The film will start shortly after 6:30pm with discussion immediately following.

Here's Your Chance
Wednesday night at 7:00 is your chance to see the award-winning documentary, The Cove. It will be screening at the Park City Library, followed by a discussion with the Oceanic Preservation Society. If you'll recall, I briefly mentioned this film in my article about Impact Partner's Geralyn White Dreyfous.
The Sundance Institute's website gives the following description of the film:
The largest supplier of dolphins in the world is located in the picturesque town of Taiji, Japan but the town has a dark, horrifying secret hidden from the rest of the world. The only way to stop the evil acts of one company, and the town's protection of it, is to expose them. Armed with state-of-the-art surveillance equipment, a band of activists, led by the most famous dolphin trainer in the world, devise a plan to infiltrate the cove to document the events that happen there.
Winner of the Sundance Film Festival's prestigious Audience Award, this is one documentary you will certainly not want to miss!
Hopefully some of my readers are at the SLC Film Center's showing of Shouting Fire at this very moment. If so, please leave me a comment telling me your thoughts about it.

Still Going?
I'd realized I hadn't blogged on here in a long time. It's been just over a month. I'm sorry.
It's been about 10 weeks since I've written anything on here with any substance. Again, I apologize.
I can't decide whether I have the time or gumption to keep this blog going. Any thoughts?
