“DYNAMITE” FILMMAKERS IN CEBU TO LECTURE ON INDIE FILM PRODUCTION

Do you love movies? Do you want to learn more about filmmaking and maybe even
how to get your own film produced and distributed for the world to see? Then
consider this your big chance: the International Academy of Film & Television
proudly presents “From Grassroots to Dynamite: Making Your Movie without
Breaking the Bank,” a two-part seminar series presented in association with
Bigfoot Entertainment.

This is an exciting opportunity to personally meet Sean Covel and Chris “Doc”
Wyatt, the producers of NAPOLEON DYNAMITE, as well as enjoy a screening of
their cult classic and ask them questions about the moviemaking process: how
to secure financing, managing on-set difficulties, finding a distributor for
the finished film, and all the other challenges of successfully producing an
independent film.

Join IAFT on Wednesday, February 15 at 6pm at Bigbucks Coffee (located on F.
Ramos Street) for a free forum with Sean and Chris as they discuss how to
translate ideas into feature films, along with suggestions on how to overcome
the many challenges independent moviemakers face. Then on Saturday, February
18 at 9:30am, make your way to Bigfoot’s new facility in Mactan (1 km before
the Mactan Shrine) for a special screening of NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. For only P50
you get VIP seats at the screening, followed by a discussion and
question-and-answer session with Sean and Chris. Seating is limited for both
events, so get there and register as early as possible.

NAPOLEON DYNAMITE was an international hit in 2004 and remains one of the
highest grossing independent films of all time. Directed by Jared Hess and
starring Jon Heder, Diedrich Bader, Tina Majorino and Haylie Duff, the film
follows the title character as he deals with his nerdy brother, his overbearing
uncle and the cruel popular kids at school as he helps his new best friend
become elected student body president and in the process endears himself to his
classmates.

music player with over 40 million sold, and now even more music lovers can
experience the unrivaled combination of iPod and iTunes.”

iPod nano features an ultra-portable design and fits into even the smallest
pocket, making it easy to take iPod nano anywhere you go. With its stunning,
high-resolution color screen, iPod nano allows users to display album art while
playing music, view photo slideshows or play games in full color. iPod nano
also features the same 30-pin dock connector as the iPod and works effortlessly

technology that automatically downloads a user’s digital music collection,
photos or Podcasts onto iPod nano and keeps it up-to-date whenever iPod nano is
plugged into a Mac® or Windows computer using USB 2.0.
