The film festival, which runs Oct. 22 and 23, screens some 30 shorts, documentaries, and feature films from New Jersey filmmakers or with a New Jersey presence. </p><p>All films will be screened at the Residence Complex on the Atlantic City campus of Stockton University, at 3701 Boardwalk. Masks will be required. Tickets are on sale now at https://filmfreeway.com/atlanticcitycinefest/tickets. Tickets will also be available at the door.</p><p>Returning filmmakers from New Jersey include Mark Clauburg, Larry Rosen, CJ Cullen, board member Sebastian Foxworth, Keith Vaile, and Keith Collins. The annual panel discussion will take place between 1:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. moderated as usual, by Ned Eckhardt, retired professor of film at Rowan University and a board member.</p><p>“This intimate film festival has been the showcase for over 300 emerging and independent filmmakers, as well as hundreds of writers, actors, critics, and producers,” said Eckhardt. “Rarely do you find so many lovers of film and storytelling in one place as you do at the Atlantic City Cinefest. What could be more fun than the Boardwalk, the casinos, and a spunky film festival on the cutting edge of independent film making.”</p><p>Mark Mazzeo of Washington Township has screened movies at the festival a couple of times and this year has two shorts and a feature film. “It’s always a fun experience and a great atmosphere. I was really disappointed when I couldn’t submit my latest films last year due to the pandemic so when I saw the festival was back this year, I was ecstatic to submit all of my recent work,” Mazzeo said.</p><p>In addition to the screenings, the after-party Friday night will be held at the Water Dog in Bally’s Atlantic City, 1900 Pacific Avenue, from 10 p.m. to 12 midnight. Food will be provided. Attendees must produce ticket stubs or a badge for admission.</p><p>William Sokolic, founder and board chair was glad the festival returned this year. “We missed being part of the October fabric of Atlantic City as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Think of it this way: we skipped year 13 and just went from 12 to 14,” Sokolic said.</p><p><br /></p><p>If You Go:</p><p>Atlantic City Cinefest will be held October 22 and 23 at the Residence Complex on the Atlantic City campus of Stockton University, at 3701 Boardwalk. They are available online or at the door.

As an established Hip Hop recording artist, producer, and writer, he found his niche in the Midwest growing up in Ohio in a small Midwestern town 45 minutes east of Cincinnati. He then began to hone his craft traveling to the West Coast and back to the Midwest and East Coast. MrJonez is known as a socially conscious rapper with emphasis on self-respect as well as respect for women, especially in his lyrical messaging. MrJonez is an established indie artist with affiliations with key affiliated DJs, PDs and music producers throughout the industry and a fan base of music lovers worldwide. MrJonez is now officially launching a national digital campaign in support of his recent album release, #Relationship Status.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">#Relationship Status features original tracks written, performed, and produced by MrJonez. Songs on the project release include his notable singles "Love Letta", "Stay with Me", "Play the Fool", "Everyone Else" and "Baby Girl". In addition, MrJonez is also slated to be featured in an exclusive interview on a major U.S. radio station about his successful career as an indie artist slated to take place in 2020.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">MrJonez' national digital campaign includes a roll out of digital pop up interviews and social media drops that feed into his brand as a socially conscious rapper and performing artist on a mission to bring his message to the mainstream mindset of millennials and general music lovers. His music is featured and is streaming on Spotify, Google Play, Amazon, iHeartRadio and on Music Choice.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">MrJonez is a hip hop recording artist on the rise of national and global recognition as an indie artist committed to real music and authenticity as a writer and music creator. He has worked in studio collaborating with other top artists in the industry. He has been featured in U.S. media on national outlets including Examiner where he has been featured on select pages with news headers including Entertainment Tonight and Ellen Degeneres news.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">As a musical artist and songwriter, MrJonez has established industry recognition as a two-time Grammy Contender. In the fall season of 2019, he became a 2020 Grammy Contender for his hit project releases, "#Relationship Status". In addition, he was featured as a Grammy Contender in the top publication for recognition in music, Billboard Magazine's Grammy Contender issue. He was featured in two issues, one with Lizzo and Lil Nas X.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In addition to #Relationship Status, his other project releases include "Addicted", "Love Letta" and other tracks distributed globally through Jonezboy Entertainment LLC. "Addicted" represents his socially conscious track to address the subject of addiction in America and the world. According to MrJonez, he shared this about the social message of this record, "The message behind this track is to get people to wake up about addiction and to show that addiction can be anything including music. To raise awareness about this topic. It's a movement. The addicted project came about when I heard that a few people close to me and friends That I grew up with where overdosing on drugs and a few of them came through it and got another chance at life so to speak."</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">From performances local to global and costarring in movies featured in multiple media outlets, MrJonez has been on the move across various areas of entertainment as a writer, performer, music producer, indie label executive and now in 2020 as a documentary film maker. He continues to innovate music, television and film with original content with his next project, a documentary film release, to be announced shortly.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">"One of my main reasons why I entered into the entertainment industry is because I wanted to organize a real solid platform to share the passion of love for music.

Consider Jonmar, father of four and business owner who found himself, like so many others, stuck at home with no clear future.</span><br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Jonmar is an accomplished software engineer, artist, and singer/songwriter whose work has been heralded as magical by art critics in LA, described as "Harry Potter-type magic" in Billboard magazine, and featured by both Apple and Rolling Stone Magazine. He was a lead developer/designer on Nike's Innovation Team at their world headquarters until launching his own business creating magical, story-focused AR experiences. But in the wake of COVID, his professional life was up in the air. Still, his heart told him to continue to tell stories worth sharing, but to focus on children who were stuck at home and isolated.</span><br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Jonmar decided to start a youtube show that could breathe life, love, and happiness into the hearts of kids everywhere. The show would feature powerful storytelling and captivating music, but </span><b style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><i style="box-sizing: inherit;">the magic really happened when he looked for a story-related domain name.</i></b><br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">He found that </span><a href="http://www.story.dog/" rel="nofollow" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #6080f0; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">www.story.dog</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> was available. A lightning bolt of inspiration struck. He'd create a puppy puppet named Story Dog who'd take kids on breathtaking adventures.</span><br />
<br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Within days he created the Story Dog show, a marvelous mixture of adventure, learning, and laughter, with original songs that fill you with joy, no matter your age. </span><i style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b style="box-sizing: inherit;">Think Calvin and Hobbes meet Winnie the Pooh.</b></i><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">What's next for Story Dog? He hopes to make it on Ellen. As inclusive as she is, he notes her show is sadly lacking in the puppy-puppet demographic.</span><br />

"This is the question Talanov must answer when his godchild is kidnapped by a crime boss known as 'Dragon Head.' The reason? To force Talanov's compliance with his demands. But Talanov is ordered by the Director of National Intelligence to stand down from attempting a rescue. Why? Because doing so would threaten national security. One life versus many lives. It's a no-brainer, right? Not if such an order is flawed by a deeper, more sinister agenda."</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">But there is not just one godchild whose life is at risk. There are two others - teenagers - who are volatile, impulsive, and reckless. And they know how to push Talanov's buttons. "Generation gaps can create a lot of fun moments in a book," says Turner, "especially among family members. But they can also create serious danger, which of course is what happens here."</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Turner says he lingered on the theme of family (and who constitutes "family") because of what he himself has experienced over the last decade.

Explore worked directly with the marketing team at Go RVing, who provided a loose idea of the concept. Explore produced from beginning to end, collaborating with their LA-based partner Brendan Beachman to write and direct the commercial. Shot in December in the Santa Monica foothills, the commercial follows two couples who take vastly different approaches to how they camp in the great outdoors. One couple chooses to bring an RV, while the other couple struggles to setup a tent before nature's elements arrive in an onset of progressive plagues. Rain, fire, and wind effects were all needed to hilarious results, and everything was successfully captured practically during production. The crescendo of the spot includes an infestation of mosquitoes, which along with some filled in elements, were added as visual effects in post.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Casting was done through RMB Casting in Venice, California and acting talent were all from the Los Angeles area.

"Do No Harm" follows four people bonded by tragedy on a mission to expose medicine's dirty secret. Doctors and medical students pull back the curtain on the causes and cover-up of the alarming rate of suicide of physicians, the highest rate among all professions and almost twice the general population. At a time when we're facing wan unprecedented doctor shortage, more than one million patients lose their doctors to suicide every year yet because of the stigma of suicide, it's often covered up.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The film also connects the link between a toxic medical system to the high rate medical errors including the preventable deaths of more than 250,000 people every year, making it the third leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><b style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">About Producer/Director Robyn Symon</b><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Robyn Symon is a two-time Emmy™ award-winning filmmaker specializing in documentaries and television series.</span><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In 2007, Symon debuted in the indie film arena, producing, directing, and editing the feature documentary </span><i style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Transformation:<wbr style="box-sizing: inherit;"></wbr> The Life & Legacy of Werner Erhard</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> about one of the most controversial pioneers of the multi-billion dollar self-help industry.

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></em></strong>
<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">THE SAMARITANS</em></strong> tells the story of four co-workers who get together to finish a project at their manager’s home. They haven’t actually met face to face and they discover they have more in common than the new App they are perfecting. As they piece together their histories, they realize that each of them has a deadly secret that could reveal a way out or seal their fates. Their pasts have provoked a vengeful force to show them the errors in their ways. The home they have been summoned to becomes their court and their prison. Can they prove that history doesn’t repeat itself? Can they redeem themselves before time runs out? Will they figure out their fateful bond before revenge has its way with them?<br />

<strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><u style="box-sizing: border-box;">A Statement from the Filmmakers:</u></strong><br />
We (like most filmmakers) believe that our film is different. It is not different because of the content (which we do think is pretty darn good). It stands alone in a crowded field of indie horror/thriller because of the how we did it. This film could be marketed as the "next big thing" or "scary" or "creepy" but that would be just like any other marketing campaign. It is all of those things but the fact it was made in such little time for such little money is very rare.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, Arial; font-size: 14px; padding: 3px 10px;">
Six people. One weekend. Two rooms. That's all it took for The Samaritans team to shoot this micro-budget thriller. The tense mood was created with one light, four actors, and no more than three takes on any setup. The creative team consists of Doug Bollinger, Keith Collins, Cory Green, and Matt Grego. The entire feature film was shot in a four day weekend. This intrepid group of dedicated filmmakers did nothing but eat, sleep, and shoot to create what is sure to be one of the most talked about indie thrillers of the year. </div>

The festival dates are February 19-24, 2019 with the Red Carpet Reception and Awards Gala taking place on Sunday, February 24th at the University of South Carolina, Beaufort, Center for the Arts.</span><br />

<br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The award is named for Best Selling Author and Academy Award nominated Screenwriter </span><a href="http://www.patconroy.com/about.php" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6080f0; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">Pat Conroy</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">, who was a long time resident of Beaufort, SC before his death of pancreatic cancer in March 2016. </span><i style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">"Beaufort's long film history began with Pat when his novel The Great Santini was made into a feature film followed later by The Prince of Tides. Both films were shot right here in Beaufort,"</i><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> stated Rebecca Tucker, Co-Director of the Beaufort International Film Festival.</span><br />
<br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Brooklyn-born actor Paul Sorvino began his career as a 16-year-old singer at a Catskills resort dreaming of becoming an opera singer. And it was no pipe dream. He had studied singing for years and, to this day, has a beautiful tenor voice. But rent and real life led him into a variety of odd jobs and a stint in the Army.</span><br />
<br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">His singing hopes somewhat stifled by asthma, he redirected his career into what promised to be a more promising field—acting. Years of acting and vocal lessons were largely supported through scholarships. After studying dramatic arts under the tutelage of renowned acting teacher Sanford Meisner at the prestigious American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City, Mr. Sorvino made his Broadway debut at 25 acting and singing in the original 1964 production of the musical "Bajour."</span><br />
<br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Over the next three years, Mr. Sorvino worked a variety of jobs (salesman, chauffeur, etc.) while gaining prominence as an advertising writer/creative director and pursuing his acting career. He made his film debut in Carl Reiner's 1970 comedy "Going Ape" and began a career solely dedicated to acting and occasional singing.</span><br />
<br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">At 40, the tenor made his lifelong dream come true with his operatic debut in "Die Fledermaus,"</span><wbr style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"></wbr><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> selling out six performances at the Seattle Opera (the impresario Glynn Ross told the press Mr. Sorvino had "one of the voices of the century"). The reviews included "he has an astonishing high C." In opera, he would go on to sing the lead in "The Most Happy Fella" in 2006 at The New York City Opera at Lincoln Center and sold out 15 critically acclaimed performances.</span><br />
<br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Paul Sorvino's resume is as long and varied as any performer could hope for, including over one hundred eighty movies and television shows, two operas, three Broadway plays, musicals on Broadway and at major theaters across the country. For THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON, he won six awards including the New York Drama Critics Award for Best Actor, Drama Desk, Obie, Outer Critics Circle, Clarence Derwent awards and a Tony nomination for playing the rich, morally bankrupt Phil Romano.</span><br />
<br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">TV has seen him as "THE OLDEST ROOKIE", in LAW AND ORDER, THAT'S LIFE,</span><br />

Public Television has aired his special "PAUL SORVINO SINGS" (he can be heard on the album of the same name). TV was also the medium for DUMMY, the Peabody award-winning drama in which he played Lowell Myers, the ground-breaking deaf trial lawyer.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">In 1987, Paul founded the AMERICAN STAGE COMPANY on the campus of Fairleigh Dickinson University. It remains the most successful regional theater in American theatrical history. Of twelve original productions over a period of three years, six had New York openings, including OTHER PEOPLES MONEY, which went on to become a major motion picture starring Danny Devito. The theater opened with ALL THE KING'S MEN, directed by and starring Paul. The response was so favorable that Paul quipped "I think my mother wrote the reviews."</span><br />
<br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Early on Paul suffered from severe asthma, but as an adult created and mastered breathing techniques that helped control attacks. He wrote the 1985 best-selling book "How to Become a Former Asthmatic" and founded the </span><a href="http://sorvinoasthmafoundation.org/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6080f0; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">Sorvino Asthma Foundation</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> to educate the public about asthma and techniques for managing the illness. He has been honored twice by the Pope for his work with asthmatics as well as by the American Medical Association.</span><br />
<br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />

There is no Italian that doesn't love food. There is food that doesn't love Italians, but there is no Italian that doesn't love food," Sorvino says.</i><br />
<br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">An internationally known sculptor, he has created more than thirty figurative works in bronze including installations at The Versace House in Miami, Fla., The Courthouse Square in Scranton, Pa.

His title is Knight of The Great Cross and he is also a Knight of the Italian Republic. The Sorvino coat of arms dates from the twelfth century.

Over the next two years the filmmakers followed Bey around the world, capturing moments from Bey's shows and life off the stage. During this time, Bey went to Nashville for the first time in his career to make an album about his life, "Back in Business", with Grammy award-winning producer Tom Hambridge. "Ask Me How I Feel" culminates with this creative and emotional high-point of the 72-year-old singer's life. The official documentary trailer can be viewed </span><a href="http://frankbeyfilm.com/trailer" rel="nofollow" style="color: #6080f0; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5;">here</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">.</span><br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The development of the film has brought together a uniquely-special crew, diverse in backgrounds but strongly united in their mission to share the urgently needed voices of the film. The director, Marie Hinson, is an emerging artist and cinematographer whose films have screened at galleries and festivals all over the world. Her roots as a queer transgender woman from rural Appalachia bring to all of her work topics of identity, place and creative voice. Producer, Thomas Daniel Dwyer, is a musician and former public school teacher who entered the film business through acting.

They are inviting audiences from around the world to join them in a grassroots effort to finish the film through a crowdfunding campaign. Their campaign is running on Kickstarter until Oct 25 and was just picked as a "Project We Love" by the popular crowdfunding platform.
