"TRain town" accepted into Clermont Ferrand Film Festival
Train Town, a short produced by Flashpoint's Paula Froehle and Kodak's Ericka Frederick and directed by Keith Bearden, was accepted into the 2008 Clermont Ferrand Film Festival
In 2008, the Clermont-Ferrand festival will celebrate its 30th anniversary and will present three competitions mixing film and digital medium, thus bringing greater diversity to the short film format – diversity being its basic principle, its source of uniqueness and vitality.
20th International Competition: About 80 films from approximately 50 countries carry the viewers at the festival off each year on a maelstrom of images. Spread over fourteen 95-minute programs, they form a round-the-world tour of young cinema in 22 hours: a journey in the comfort of a cinema seat. The Clermont-Ferrand International Festival is a unique opportunity in France to savour a highly colorful planet.
Train Town plot outline: A 1950s conservative patriot battles a 1960s sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll hippie on the minor scale battleground of a model train town.
