Bare Bones Recap

Those who attended the Piracy seminar at this year's Bare Bones Script 2 Screen Film Festival recieved 60 minutes of much needed information regarding movie piracy and copyright infringement. I was glad to be able to share important information with other filmmakers, so that they know how to protect their work.

It wouldn't be a film festival without movies, right? I checked out a few such as Broken by Alex Ferarri and Village Vengeance by the indie duo, Carl and Vivian Adams as well as the myspace picture banned short......the Timmy movie from director, Marc Hall. I don't do horror or much of suspense but I enjoyed Broken and Vengeance. Now, I can see why the short gained much attention for the special effects alone. They were great. I set out to see the Timmy movie and it was great. I even met "Timmy" at the premiere and. Ethan Nall (Timmy) won Best Youth Actor for the Timmy Movie at the festival and also won the Indie Film Star award. Timmy won 2nd place for Best Micro Movie and the Audience Choice award for Best Poster.

Instead of repeating the same thing again, here is a snippet from a recent press release that was sent out:

(Philadelphia, PA, USA, SEPTEMBER 27, 2006) - Independent film director, Nicole Ayers will be speaking about movie piracy at this year's Bare Bone's Script 2 Screen Film Festival.

The seminar is being held on Saturday, October 7th at The 5th Annual Bare Bones Script 2 Screen Film Festival & Movie Biz Conference. It is the second installment of an Anti-Piracy campaign being held by independent production company, Madlab Entertainment. The campaign is headed by Nicole Ayers. Its objective is to create and spread awareness throughout the filmmaking community and the movie going audience that movie piracy is illegal. "By speaking out against piracy, others will be more inclined to take action against it. It can then be eliminated", says Ayers.
