IndieFlix filmmaker D.A. Sebasstian is taking the indie world by the horns and creating a space, both on and off-line, where film lovers can meet, watch films and support each other.
We’ll do a rundown of his projects here, but make sure to visit D.A.’s blog and FilmEES website for more information on how you can get involved.
FilmEES (Film Education Entertainment Sustainability) Coalition: D.A. started the group late last year and the member base is quickly growing. What started as a response to Ross Pruden’s #infdist hashtag on Twitter has grown into a full-fledged online community dedicated to empowering independent filmmakers to connect with each other and share information. Filmmakers can add film trailers, post screening events and ask questions in a FilmEES forum.
FilmEES Edmonds: Located at the former Woodway Elementary School and currently home to the Crescendo-Artistic Environment School Auditorium, the FilmEES Edmonds Series showcases independent films from around the world. Admission is a $5 donation for the Crescendo Arts Programs and Camps that help young people find their voice in the arts. The auditorium features a pull-down projection screen, built in sound system and can hold up to 690 people. Popcorn and drinks available! Their first screening is “Mission X” on March 13th from 9-11 p.m. On April 10th from 9-11 p.m., you can catch a screening of “The Commune.”
Hod Rod Monsters Film Festival: Last year, D.A. hosted the first annual Hot Rod Monsters Film Festival, which was a fun opportunity to bring kustom kulture, sexy pinup girls and freaky alien monsters all together for one big party. He’s doing it again, this time during Halloween, Oct. 30 – 31st. He’s accepting submissions now, click here for more information.
Munster Style Magazine: This new magazine is the source for everything kustom kulture and has an awesome B-movie and cult classics selection.
Also, his feature film “Hot Rod Girls Save The World“ is for sale on IndieFlix. He’s just finishing a new version with a special features disc. The two disc set is entitled “Hot Rod Girls Save The World (Kustom Edition)” and features an alternative ending and a shorter running time. He’s also working on his second feature “Rad Rod Rockers” and is beginning work on a documentary film about horses and trainers in Seattle (untitled at the moment).
Seems like D.A. has a full plate of projects, but he wouldn’t want it any other way.
