Filmmakers,
screen writers, actors and actresses and fans from all over the world came to
Las Vegas for the 9th Annual Film Fest. Over 80 films were shown at Inspire Theatre,
Freemont Country Club and Brenden Theaters at the Palms from June 7-12, 2016.
The six day event showcased original feature films, documentaries and short
stories along with foreign films, shorts, music videos and screen plays from
around the world. www.lvff.com
The films were outstanding and one feature
that stood out was Dealer, an
anthology starring Lundon Boyd as Kelly and had four directors, Jeremy Cloe,
Jerry & Mike Thompson, Cody & Ryan LeBoeur and Adam Zielinski. Kelly
finds out that he must become a drug dealer and deliver four illegal packages
within 24 hours. It is a wild adventure portraying a dark humorous story with
Kelly in an outstanding role. The film was directed by Lundon Boyd produced by
Chuck Akin.
Filmed in
Las Vegas was “The Track” produced by Domenica Castro and directed by Brett
Levner. It is a powerful film about a suburban mother who meets a teenage
prostitute and they form a mother daughter bond. The film won for Best Local
Feature and Best First time Director
Ryan LeBoeuf
and Cody LeBoeuf directed “Rabbit Days” starring Professor Clarence Gilyard,
who was outstanding in his role of an eccentric theater director who invites a
few people up to his cabin for a dinner party.
The Las
Vegas Film Festival gives the independent filmmakers an opportunity to meet and
network and screen their movies and hopefully win awards and distribution
deals. As always a director’s lounge is set up providing food and drinks for
everyone. This was an exciting film festival with excellent films. A special
thank you goes out to the festival team and we look forward to the next LVFF.
