A few weeks back I had the distinct pleasure of attending and serving on the jury of the premiere edition of Napa Valley Film Festival. I want to promote / publicize their 2nd outing later this year but first I want to use this forum to say why I think they at Napa – and events like them worldwide – are so important now.

Russia’s Roskino / SEF – formerly known as Sovexportfilm – will set up business, and open a full time office, in the USA. Recently, while attending the Berlinale European Film Market, the company announced, via Roskino / SEF CEO Catherine Mtsitouridze and US based Commissioner (and longtime film biz Senior Executive) Eleonora Granata, that the new Russian Film Commission will be looking to build relationships with US distributors for Russian films and to promote Russia as a filming location and a strong partner for US international co- productions. Prominent LA based Russian journalist (and Board Member of ‘The Golden Globes’ Award Ceremony for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association) Sergei Rakhlin will be Director of the Russian Film Commission Office.

The Power of Few

From the global to the local, The Power of Few breaks barriers of conventional filmmaking, redefines the meaning of interactivity and social networking, while managing to be an intriguing, captivating and entertaining film with a scene-stealing Christopher Walken, a killer score by Mike Simpson (Fight Club), and a magical girl from the ghetto called Few, played by newcomer Tione Johnson. Due also to Kilcher’s long-standing commitment for human rights and social outreach, the producers of The Power of Few collaborated with associations like Volunteers of America and The Covenant House of New Orleans to hire local veterans and homeless people, young and old, to be part of their cast and crew. ”We wanted to give back to the community where we were shooting, not only by bringing film business there but also by mentoring and involving local talent."
