June 4WALL- Fulvew Productions



This month the West Michigan Film and Video Alliance (WMFVA) 4WALL event was featuring the work of Fulvew Productions of Grand Rapids, which is owned and operated by Chris Randall and Keith Golinski. They describe their company this way... "Fulvew Productions creates professional, national quality film and video with a focus on entertaining, engaging and exciting people. We like our productions to stand out, not only in a client’s market, but anywhere in the country."

Fulvew's clients include Hanon McKendry, Gordon Foods, Meijer, Haworth, and Steelcase, to name a few. I was very impressed with the creative work they have done, not only the commercial and corporate work, but also the music videos and film shorts. It was an evening well spent, watching Fulvew's work and hearing about their experiences first hand. Follow the link below to find out more about this great company.

Waterfront Film Festival 2010



This weekend I attended my second Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck, MI. It is a wonderful event that showcases some of the best independent and documentary films being produced.

Here's how the organizers describe the fest...."In what has quickly become a tradition, the idyllic resort village of Saugatuck, Michigan comes alive each June with filmgoers, actors, producers and directors sharing the excitement as outstanding independent films from all over the United States are screened in casual, intimate settings. Entertainment professionals from Los Angeles, New York and Michigan created the Waterfront Film Festival in 1999 to provide a "middle coast" venue for independent filmmakers eager to show their work to sophisticated audiences. The festival has succeeded with growing support and recognition each year, and enthusiastic reviews from attendees."

From drama to documentary, comedy to horror, there were films for everyone; certainly more than I could fit into two days of viewing. As during my first visit to the WFF, I came away inspired by the quality and breadth of films shown, not to mention the excellence with which the fest was organized and run. I also gained a lot of fantastic scoring ideas from viewing these films. Can't wait for next year!
