2010 Special Events Schedule
Film Workshop
Saturday, October 16, 2:00 pmImperial Theatre, 55 Dunlop Street West
Admission: Free
The Barrie Film Festival is pleased to feature identical twin filmmakers Logan and Noah Miller, visiting us from Northern California to talk about the making of their debut feature Touching Home (see page 29 for synopsis and screening date/time). Although presented as a fictional narrative, it was inspired by a true story - their story.
In 2006, without any money nor a single meaningful contact in Hollywood, these two amazingly determined characters managed to write, produce, direct and act in a feature film employing an accomplished crew and cast including four-time Academy Award® nominated actor Ed Harris in a starring role.
And, as if all of this weren’t enough, they also wrote a bestselling book about their adventures entitled, "Either You’re in or You’re in the Way". Touching Home premiered at the San Francisco International Film Festival in 2008 and has won numerous Audience-favourite awards since.
During this industry workshop, Logan and Noah will discuss the steps they took to achieve such a dream and accomplish the near-impossible. The Miller Brothers welcome an open forum, an interactive audience and questions are encouraged!
