Salem man's film to be shown at Grandin TuesdayPosted Aug20, 2008 at 05:32 PM Salem filmmaker Hank Ebert will have one of his short films shown Tuesday night, August 26, at the Grandin Theatre. The film is called "It's What's Inside That Matters" and one of the actresses is also from Salem -- Miriam Frazier. Others in the cast include Mary Jean Redon Levin and Jayne Brill from Roanoke and Anthony Georgetti from Botetourt County. All are well-known veterans of community theatre in the Roanoke Valley The screening is part of the Grandin's "Open Projector Night." A total of seven short local films will be shown, starting at 7 p.m. Admission is $5.75. Here's how Hank describes his film: "A lonely woman in search of direction seeks guidance from a fortuneteller. With help from the visionary, and the mystical box she receives, the woman experiences a life-altering event and, at the same time, the fortuneteller learns something meaningful about herself."

Hank EbertThanks to all who attended Grandin Theatre's Open Projector Night on Tuesday evening. Nearly 100 film enthusiasts were in attendance. I am happy to report my film received enough votes to be included in the "Best of" screening at the Taubman Museum of Art on December 9th.
I would hope more folks would attempt film making, especially since camcorders are affordable now and editing can be done on home computers. Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity the Grandin provides, won't you? There is no cost to enter the screenings that take place four times per year.
Thanks to Jason Garnett and the Grandin for all they do for local filmmakers!
