s Call for entry in first Carroll film festival by Ashley Oliverio Staff Writer Carroll’s student government, the Associated Students of Carroll College, is presenting the first Carroll Film Festival this February, and the call for student- produced cinema has already sparked considerable interest on campus. Several ideas proposed by students are already in the works, including a love story, a zombie spoof, a sci-fi “mockumentary” and a kung-fu movie, says John Earley, festival organizer and Carroll communication and public relations junior. “I’ve always enjoyed films made by students, and I think there’s a real outcry for this sort of outlet in the student body here at Carroll,” Earley says. The rules of the road are pretty simple. For a five-dollar entry fee, any Carroll student, faculty or staffer is eligible to write and direct an original movie submis sion to the festival. Submissions must be 5 to 15 minutes in length and satisfy the criteria for a G to a PG-13 rating. Any genre and sub ject matter will be accepted. “This sounds like a great oppor tunity for students to truly create a unique product and convey their opinions, emotions and ideas in a fun environment,” says Rick Moritz, a Carroll communication professor. In addition to calling for student cinéastes, Earley is also stirring up faculty and staff interest in judging and critiquing films. Patrick Harris, Carroll’s director of student activities and a film fes tival judge, is excited about the endeavor. “This film festival is going to be both a night of fun and an oppor tunity to see the creativity of our students in producing a film. I am very much looking forward to the presentation,” Harris says. The deadline for submissions is February 11, 2005. In the follow ing week, two free, public screen ings of all the films will take place in the Carroll Campus Center. A committee of faculty and staff will critique and score the films based on a variety of criteria, including cinematography, acting, plot and musical score. The five highest scoring entries will vie for best picture. Judges will also determine who will win best actor, actress and director honors. At the February 17, Charlie Awards ceremony, the top five nominees will be screened and a panel of celebrity professors will announce winners and hand out the coveted Charlie Awards, inspired by the original building on campus, St. Charles Hall, and a bit of humor. “The Academy Awards have the statue of the golden man. The Charlies are in the shape of a little golden horse,” notes Earley. The grand prize for best picture will be a $100 purse provided by the Associated Students of Carroll College. Application packets for festival submissions are available at the Carroll Campus Center’s information desk. The Charlie Awards ceremony will take place on February 17 at 8 p.m. in the lower level of the Campus Center. It is free and open to the public. For more information, contact John Earley at 449-6923. Students become actors, all you need is a video camera! Pantoja writes play by Greg Gould Staff Writer Carroll College performing arts will be showcasing Pan’s inaugu ral play “Johnny Latchkey’s Picture Perfect Life” on Friday, March 18 in the Carroll College Theater. “Johnny Latchkey’s Picture Perfect Life” takes the audience on a roller coaster that dives and twirls through the harsh reality of humanity and today’s school system. The play will be running Friday, March 18 and Saturday, March 19 at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free to all who wish to come. Among Pan’s hard work and dedication is a soundtrack of show music written and composed by Fred Crase, a student at The University of Montana. The “show tune rock” as classi fied by Crase, is different than anything he has done before. “This music presented me with quite the challenge, but it was fun to work on a lighter style” said Crase. Sharing the same enthusi asm, Pantoja said he is excited to reveal both the music and the play to his audience. The cast is com prised of many Carroll College students and a few from the Helena area. “I am really psy ched. It’s awe some to work with someone as creative as Pantoja. The extremely unique style of this play will turn heads for sure,” said Aaron Delman, casted as Johnny Latchkey. “I am truly excited for my play to go up, and cannot wait to see my creations come to life. This will be the most fulfilling accom plishment yet,” says Pantoja. Pantoja invites everyone out to watch his play March 18-19. • f U N C H • • D I N N E R • • C A S I N O • OUTDOOR DINING t e a k C O M pan “ A CUT ABOVE Reservations: 495-0677* 833 Great Northern Boulevard WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2005 VOLUME 88, NO. 4
