<DIV><FONT face="Modern No. 20" size=4>I'm soliciting independent films for preview, with the intention of </FONT><FONT face="Modern No. 20" size=4>presenting them to the Lakewood Public Library for screening at a six-part series during Spring 2009. I'll be introducing each film with a brief commentary prior to its screening.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Modern No. 20" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Modern No. 20" size=4>This program was just presented to me yesterday, so details are pending. The screenings are to be open to the public and admission is to be free of cost.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Modern No. 20" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Modern No. 20" size=4>Until I hear otherwise, the only restriction on submissions is, extreme sexual or violent content is prohibited. Please, don't submit any films you wouldn't be comfortable watching with your parents, children, and clergyperson/spiritual advisor/therapist. They don't have to be strictly "G-rated"--- just not too over-the-top. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Modern No. 20" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Modern No. 20" size=4>Further, unless I hear otherwise, presumably there will be no compensation for the screening of films at this particular program.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Modern No. 20" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Modern No. 20" size=4>Certainly, brand new films are welcome but if you have an older film that you want to screen publicly, I encourage you to submit it. Bear in mind that the Lakewood Public Library schedules its programming far in advance. For example, Spring programming might begin in March, but the library administration is scheduling now. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Modern No. 20" size=4>Personally, my preference is to showcase Ohio filmmakers but, for variety's sake, if anyone knows any filmmakers outside of Ohio, I'd like submissions from everywhere. I'd also like to know if anyone knows of boards similar to NEOhio-PAL on which I could post request submissions. ( I know the question of other such boards came up before but it wasn't about me, so I wasn't paying attention.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Modern No. 20" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Modern No. 20" size=4>Please contact me at msrg-publications @earthlink.net if you wish to submit your independent film. If you have any questions or concerns, I'll present them to the proper authorities at the Lakewood Public Library and make every effort to get more information for you.</FONT></DIV>
