new festival

I'm very pleased to be part of the official selection of the world's largest student film festival:

  • Ivy Film Festival
    http://www.ivyfilmfestival.com/
    COCOON is one of the 36 chosen films out of a pool of 250 submissions. The 2008 Ivy Film Festival will be held April 14th - 20th, on the campus of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
    A special lecture by Martin Scorsese is confirmed. Tom Rothman, Chairman of Fox Filmed Entertainment, will preside over the awards ceremony. Additionally, we have also confirmed a screenwriting panel including David Arata (Children of Men) and Simon Kinberg (Jumper, Mr. and Mrs. Smith), a visual effects panel with Ned Gorman (films from Star Wars (1977) to Pirates of the Caribbean 3), and a production panel Michael Costigan (American Gangster, Brokeback Mountain).
