Part One
The Mega
fest was filled with extra ordinary films from film makers from all over the
world and I will write a few articles to cover the seminars, award dinners and
screenings because I want everyone to be recognized for their talents. Mega
fest was held at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas July 24-August 3, 2019 by the
founder and creator Del and Theresa
Weston. www.aofmegafest.com
Two new
festivals were added in the two week festival, “Most Important Films” hosted by Anabelle Munro and”’Venus International Italian Film Fest”
hosted by Katherina Miccio and Alexandra Guarino. The Venus award went to Daniel Baldwin for
best Actor in the film “Making a Deal with the Devil
Jerry Valastro won “Best Drama” and “Best Score “for
his film “Solstice” that he made 25
years ago. The film was restored with
new music performed by the Budapest Scoring Orchestra. Jerry Valastro wrote,
produced, directed and edited the film which starred Michael Kelly. It is a
heartwarming story of the spirit of Christmas that is portrayed beautifully by
Michael Kelley. Click on the link, to see the making and behind the scenes of Solstice and enjoy the magic of
Christmas that Jerry Valastro is sharing with us https://vimeo.com/307087863 Jerry is such a kind loving soul and
it was wonderful meeting and speaking to him and I know there will be other
great films to be made by him.

Another stand out film was
a Greek Tragedy “Nothing beyond
Measure”, the tragedy of Antigone by Sophocles, and a conflict between
human and divine laws. It was mesmerizing to watch the performance of Alessandro Vantini who is a wonderful
actor and who gave a perfect performance, on an empty set, only relying on the
text and his acting skills.
I will write additional
stories on Megafest next week.
