SPRINGFIELD, MO (October 1, 2008) – Springfield’s first MOTION MEDIA EXPO will be held at the Keyes Art Gallery, 229 South Market Avenue, Friday, October 10th, 8:00 to 11:00 PM.

This Motion Media Expo has been organized for producers, directors, filmmakers, composers, writers, designers, talent and a host of supporting services to the film industry. Green Glass Productions’ producer Jonna Volz-Howes has purposed to create a networking and sales environment for independent and production businesses in the region by putting them all in the same room. “Here they can sell themselves as employees or employers of productions companies by showcasing their portfolios and skills,” says Howes. “We want to bring together a diverse group of people in an artistic and comfortable environment and entertain them with music and a fashion show, offering food and beverages as well.”

Registration is required for Businesses and Individuals who desire to be in the MFAS’ film Directory and to be showcased by displaying their marketing tools via print and digital formats at the Expo. Details and costs for registration can be seen at www.greenglassproductions.net. Deadline for business entries is October 6, 2008. For non-registrants, there will be a cover charge of $10 at the door.

Steve Olson, president of the Missouri Film Alliance Springfield, says, “We are excited to be working with Jonna Howes and Green Glass Productions in their efforts to bring this Motion Media Expo to Springfield. We have witnessed significant growth over the last four years in the community of filmmakers and supporting organizations in the Southwest Missouri region. The Expo will play an important role in developing a comprehensive film directory of the talent and services in our community. And, the directory is a critical marketing tool for MFAS as we continue to promote the benefits of filming in Southwest Missouri.” The MFAS office will manage the ongoing maintenance of the Directory. October marks the fourth anniversary of the founding of MFAS.

Music talent scheduled to perform during the evening include Cornbelt Chorus, Rhett Roberson, Lyal Strickland, and Jeremy Larson.

A Fashion Show will also be presented by local designers and wardrobiers Cross Rags, Jacqueline’s, Vintage Vice, and more.

Green Glass Productions, founded in 2008 by Jonna Volz-Howes, is registered with the State of Missouri, business address is PO Box 905, Springfield MO 65801. Fax number is 417-865-3191.

The Motion Media Expo is a cooperative event with sponsorship from MFAS and Stonegate Creative Group.

Friends, writers, gather ‘round…

We’re still gathering scenes from different writers to put together into a vignette movie of Springfield, Missouri. The working title is: “SPRINGFIELD 417— Periods of Revelation.”

We’re looking to do several 5 to 7 minute shorts that can be filmed somewhere in Springfield, Missouri, and that deal with compelling storylines. (If you’ve seen the movie “Paris, Je T’aime” it will be a similar production in terms of vignetted storylines.) We want to keep the movie rating at PG or PG-13 so that family viewing will be encouraged.

Although the film lengths are around 5-7 minutes, there’s a possibility of going up to 10 minutes if it’s a really engaging storyline. The subtitle, “Periods of Revelations” is the theme of the movie. Something should be revealed that changes the protagonist’s life, direction or maybe it changes the movie’s direction.

An example would be:
“A young woman, disenchanted with her life, is persuaded by a husband and wife to let the husband
read her future with Tarot cards. The reading reveals an untimely death in 7 days! The young woman at first is devastated, but ends up cramming as much “living” into her life as she can, thus trying to live to the fullest.

After the allotted time has passed and the woman is still alive and kicking, she finds out that the Tarot card reader has died. The twist to the story is that we find out the husband always reads his fortune
first before giving a reading for someone else.” -END-

Storylines may need to be adjusted to accommodate sponsorship needs, so please be open to that. We’re not interested in the horror genre for this piece. Blood, guts, and gore will have to wait.

My goal is to build a local, interacting community of movie-makers and artists (including musicians, writers, dancers, etc.) that will work together to help bolster each other in their various projects. Hopefully this project will be a catalyst towards that end.

Our deadline for storylines will be:
One paragraph synopsis — September 1, 2008- Labor Day
Finished scripts ———– November 13, 2008

If you have any questions feel free to let us know. Thanks.

On Tuesday, June 17th at 7:30pm, and in cooperation with the Springfield Little Theatre, filmmakers from Missouri State University will showcase four short films including “…Or Not To Be,” “Nothing Rhymes with Orange,” “The Death of Alfred Bailey,” and “Apollo.”
The filmmakers’ proceeds from the festival will benefit the Missouri State University’s Digital Film Production Scholarship Fund.

From outright comedy to drama to science fiction, each short highlights the multi-faceted cast & crew talents of the region. Three of the productions are based off award-winning scripts. “The Death of Alfred Bailey” placed in the Broadcast Educators Association (BEA) Media Arts Festival in Las Vegas earlier this year. “Nothing Rhymes with Orange” won for best screenplay at the Missouri Broadcast Educator’s annual competition. The science fiction drama “Apollo” received honorable mention. Portions of “Apollo” were shot at the Landers Theatre. All four productions were the result of student work in the Media, Journalism and Film department at Missouri State University.

For more details and trailers on each of the films, I point you to Diane Dru Botsford’s slowly developing blog site. Add her to your subscription list, I have.

A moderated Q&A with the filmmakers will follow the 2 hour screening. Tickets may be purchased at the Springfield Little Theatre Box Office, online at springfieldlittletheatre.org, or by calling (417) 869-1334.

Tickets: $8
