NEWS AND UPCOMING EVENTS
From July 31, 2026:
Hi all Screenliners!!
I thought I would send out an email to the group, since not everyone was able to make it to our last meeting. We had a small but devoted crew who got to read my latest installment of my new short.
In local news, Beyond:The Cary Film Festival is coming up on September 10-13. The schedules and films are not yet listed, but I'll share it when it gets posted.
I also did some Internet searches for local writing conferences and film festivals. I could not find any Fall writing conferences, but the NC Film Office had the following webpage with a listing of NC Film Festivals - check it out. If anyone has any local writing conferences or film festivals, please share with group.
I did catch The Odyssey at the Marbles IMAX theatre this week. I thought it was a very good film (hard to beat a classic ancient story) and definitely worth seeing in the theatre (but it doesn't have to be IMAX). Not sure any of the A-list actors gave any Oscar worthy performances, and the film as a whole should get some nominations for film, director, cinematography, and special effects.
That's a wrap for now. I hope everyone is having a good summer, and I hope to see everyone at the Panera Bread off Lake Boone Trail on Monday, August 31!!
John (Filling in for our illustrious leader, Mike)
P.S. If you have news or information you d like to share, send it to me and I will get it posted to the web site.
