Festival Known for Diversity in Film Holds Fundraising Event

July 15, 2002  (Cleveland, Ohio) - If diversity is the spice of life, 
then diverse cinema gives us a glimpse into many of those life's 
spices. Through the eclectic program offerings from the Ohio 
Independent Film Festival, local audiences have been exposed to 
independent films and ideas not readily available through traditional 
movie venues. 

Over the past nine years, the Ohio Independent Film Festival has 
worked to expose the community to a variety of different voices, 
whether artistic, political, or sexual orientation, through 
independent films.

In celebration of the organization's commitment to both independent 
cinema and thought, the Ohio Independent Film Festival is throwing 
Summer Crush at the Grid-n-Orbit dance club (located at 1437 St. 
Clair Avenue), on Tuesday, July 30th starting at 6pm.  Along with 
dance music spun by six DJ's, free appetizers, drinks, and visual 
stimulation from action sport-themed videos, the film festival will 
unveil a new look and revitalized sense of purpose. Under the new 
name, Independent Pictures, the organization will continue to not 
only screen innovative works in the form of an annual festival, but 
also aid emerging filmmakers from the area with production resources 
and workshops to help them better their skills.

If you have not yet had a chance to check Cleveland's newest and 
largest dance club, here is your chance. Come and mingle with some of 
Cleveland's numerous lovers and producers of independent cinema as 
well as representatives from the office of Stephanie Tubbs Jones, 
Beverly Charles and Nicole Williams and from the office of Mayor Jane 
Campbell, Chief Development Officer, Tim Mueller.

Tickets for the event are $25 each which includes a door prize entry. 
All proceeds will benefit Independent Pictures as it is hoping to 
raise $20,000 to help with the continuation of the Ohio Independent 
Film Festival and Market, ScriptMill, the Ohio Independent Screenplay 
Awards, Film Training Programs and more. Tickets are available at 
www.ticketweb.com or call the Independent Pictures office at (216) 
651-7315.

The event is made possible with the supports from  Borders Book & 
Music, Bo Loong Chinese Restaurant, Calvin Klein, Cleveland Food CO-
OP, Crescit Software, First College Cleveland State University, Grand 
Poo-Bas Record Shoppe, JakPrints, Lapis Business Solutions, Media

Club, Rocky River Fitness Kickboxing, Susie Frazier and Tim Mueller.
