If you have been to the Lindsey Festival in the past, you will probably share our sense that something is missing from the celebration this year. Indeed, George’s passing last spring left a large empty place in the many lives he touched through the years. Since last year’s festival, we also lost George’s best buddy and a great friend of the festival, Ernest Borgnine, as well as Heath Bain, the very talented and inspirational UNA Alum and friend who performed at our last two festival awards shows. George would now be cracking a joke to reverse the too-serious to Professional Narrative, and we hope you will take the opportunity to see as many as possible. For the past few years we have also staged a table reading of the winning short and feature-length screenplays, which have become very popular events! We’re also very honored and excited to be hosting the Alabama public premiere of the acclaimed documentary, “Muscle Shoals.” The movie sold out each of its performances at Sundance, so we know it is going to be a smash hit during its “homecoming” weekend. The WELCOME FROM Cynthia Burkhead & Jason flynn opportunity to see what all the well-deserved, international buzz is about. Film Festivals need parties, and the Lindsey Fest will again be Annual Awards Show Saturday night. Besides the opportunity to enjoy the talented performances of Melissa Bain and Chris Roach, the selected for exhibition at this year’s festival. Our friend and advisory board member, the amazingly talent actor Natalie Canerday will return to the festival this year to MC the Awards Show.

Ernie passed away last July, but the performance hall named in his honor will keep him always in our thoughts. sity have experienced great loss, there is screenwriters whose work has been selected for exhibition this year.

It was in that great city that Anthony learned of so many ways life can be seen and interpreted. With so many world class museums and professors at hand, and a city together, it came natural that his camera started to see the world as a much bigger place. Growing up in Malibu, California surrounded by the industry, it was probably inevitable that Anthony would migrate from stills to the cinematic arts of the HolStarting as a runner at a commercial production company, to assistant, camera operator, to a Director of Photography where www.lindseyfilmfest.com passion for the photographic arts translated perfectly to the cinematic.

For over 3 1/2 years Anthony worked side by side Cameron, from the very beginning, to the very end of production. “ It was overwhelming at times. Everyone around me had at least 1 academy award, and the technology was so new, we were making it up as we went along most of the time. James is a perfectionist, it really kept you on your toes 24-7.” One of Anthony’s great mentor and friend, Phillipe Rousellot ASC,FSC asked Anthony to be his second unit Director of Photography on “Larry Crowne,” directed by Tom Hanks.

From that teen with the Nikkormat chasing skateboards, to the world class DOP he has become this present day, it’s the passion, adrenaline, the willingness to be years to come.

He worked with James Edwards, a motivational speaker and former drug lord, who was arrested for possession 150 kilos of cocaine and 2,000 pounds of marijuana and spent seven years in prison. During his time in prison, he wrote a book called “Reckless and Foolish With a Gift.” Nehemiah chose a chapter from Edwards’ book to make into a gun on him, but the killed,” Nehemiah said. He chose Edwards as the subject of his project because he testimony tour where he’ll be going all around the country,” Nehemiah said. “My movie will play before he comes on stage. It’ll be marketed all over the nation.” “It’s called ‘Reckless N Foolish With a Gift,” he said. “It focuses on a chapter out of the book where he went to Houston and was robbed of $84,000.

And here, it’s a lot cheaper.” Nehemiah gained his interest in media production after starting a hip-hop group with his brother Tajshiek. “The biggest expense for us was media—making posters, social media, T-shirts,” he said. “So, I just sat down and took the time to hone my craft. Eventually, I got good enough to make a business out of it, and that business has put me through college.” Despite all his previous media experience, Nehemiah gained a lot of skills and knowledge from his senior practicum. “Coming into this project, I’d never really done anything like it before,” he said. “I had only done 30-second commercials. I really enjoyed it.” Nehemiah said he’s happy to be done with the project, but he hopes to continue learning and engaging in new projects in the future. “My brother is a big movie a family thing,” he said. “But I never understood all the work that goes into making a movie.” GEORGE LINDSEY UNA FILM FESTIVAL 49 NOW LOCATED INSIDE THE GOURMET SHOPPE AT 320 N.
