Springfield, Mo — The Evangel University Film Workshop is finishing production on “Recall,” its first technological thriller and 10th feature film in five years.

EU Films will premiere the film on Friday, April 29, with showings at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. in the Barnett Fine Arts Recital Hall.

Admission for students is $1 and general admission is $2. All tickets are sold at the door.

“Recall” tells the story of a teenage girl and her brother who become trapped in a virtual video game. The game uses one’s own memories to create obstacles that must be overcome to complete each level. Both must face their greatest fears in order to return to reality.

“This film has a few firsts for us, including shooting underwater,” said Dr. Cameron Pace, EU Films adviser and chair of the communication department. The film will be approximately 42 minutes in length, and with other EU short films the entire show will last around an hour and a half. All films are shown in high-definition video.

“I hope the audience will see this as an adventure in imagination as they watch this film,” said Rachel Wilson, director.

The film was written by Christina Jeter, sophomore theatre and English double major from Meco, Spain. Music for the film was composed and performed by Kelly Grass, senior music industry major from Strafford, Mo., and Jackson Hunt, friend of the producer.

New York NY August 20th 2010. NYC’s MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival today announced the ten short films that are Finalists for the 12th Annual MANHATTAN SHORT that will take place in over 200 cities across 6 continents during the 24th of September to the 3rd of October.

With screenings being held across North & South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa, the 12th Annual MANHATTAN SHORT Festival is now officially the World’s First Global Film Festival. These ten finalists’ films will not only entertain a global audience but will be judged by them as well. Audiences at each venue will be asked to vote for the one film that they think is best, with all votes being sent through to MANHATTAN SHORT Head Quarters and the winner announced on Sunday October the 3rd in NYC.

Proceeds from tickets will help fund the Digital Film Production Scholarship that we will be giving to a student for the first time this spring.

In addition to being among the first to see this film, which is drawing rave reviews from critics everywhere, guests at the screening can stay for a Q&A session following the presentation. Local talent directly involved with the creation of Winter’s Bone will be on-hand to answer audience questions. Confirmed is Shelley Waggener, who plays “Sonya.”

Tickets for the premiere and Q&A are available now at the box office and our website, www.wehrenberg.com at regular ticket price. Beginning Friday, Campbell 16 Cine will play Winter’s Bone with a full schedule.

Winter’s Bone follows 17-year-old Ree Dolly as she sets out to track down her father who put their house up for his bail bond, then disappeared. If her quest fails, her family will be turned out into the Ozark woods. Challenging her outlaw kin’s code of silence and risking her life, Ree hacks through the lies, evasions and threats offered by her relatives and pieces together the truth.

Not only will guests enjoy local scenes and talent, but the film has generated incredible buzz and accolades on its merits. The film won the Grand Jury Prize as the best film at Sundance, along with the Waldo Scott Screenwriting Award. Rottentomatoes.com, a website which compiles critic reviews across the nation, lists the film as earning 100% positive acclaim. Many reviews call for Oscar nods or refer to Winter’s Bone as the best film of 2010 so far.

Tickets for the Advance Screening of Winter’s Bone, Thursday, June 17, 2010 at 7:30 PM are expected to sell rapidly. Guests should visit Campbell 16 Cine, 4005 South Avenue, or www.wehrenberg.com quickly to avoid being shut out of this event celebrating Springfield’s amazing talent!

Riffle Pictures is proud to present the premiere of Motor Home from Hell at the Moxie Cinema on April 27 & 28 at 7 PM. Tickets are $5. DVDs will be available at the Moxie for $12.50

“This movie may puzzle some audiences,” muses Ross Payton, the director of Motor Home from Hell, “and to tell you the truth some mornings I’m not exactly sure what it all means myself.” Basically, the indie feature is about a Class 6 Evil Entity (the Devil) driving a 1975 RV through the Ozarks creating an army of undead. “If this wouldn’t destabilize our Homeland Security, what would?” Payton asks.

It’s a send-up of many genres, especially horror, sci-fi, and action-adventure. Stylistically, it’s indebted to both Kubrick and the Keystone Cops. This doesn’t mean the comedy project wasn’t taken seriously. Shooting took a year, editing another year. It was an ambitious effort with a cast of more than 100. “If there are festivals that give awards for irreverence, we’re in. We satirize the paranoia over Homeland Security, but our real target is the absurdity of movies in general,” said Ross.

Stars in this homage to B movies are Springfield Missouri actors with considerable experience. Holly McWilliams who plays Madame X had a juicy role in the Sci Fi Channel’s movie, Larva. David Krudwig, a former marine, is well known as an actor and teacher. The Sheriff of Sinkhole County is Ron Ayers. Ron was a Navy fighter pilot as well as a Shakespearean actor, so he easily fills the boots of a hardcore Ozark Sheriff. Nathan Shelton made a wonderful Devil – he’s the son of a preacher.
