THE STATE AND FATE OF CHILDREN FILMS AND FORUM
Another important part of thePDFF # 2 is our Salute To Children and Youth, we want to shed light on the darkness that they suffer in, and honor the film makers that expose their plights...we are going to screen some
new and past documentaries that show the suffrage of children and youth. We want to single out, and honor
some of the great journalist and producers, that cover these concerns on film, tv, the Internet, and meet some
of the directors of organizations, and create a forum with the film makers.
Festival Producer and Director, Benford Standley, is deeply dedicated to shedding light in the darkness of the
millions of homeless, runaway and missing children, the abused, the autistic, and those falling between the
cracks in our society, and sadly, in historic numbers, here in the United States of America.

HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTATION
In the tradition of thePDFF 1 & 3, we will pay tribute to music in film, and especially music videos and DVDs, and other digital platforms. As last year, we will honor the musicians, song writers, producers, editors, and film makers
of the great music documentaries, as we screen and pay tribute to some of these great films of music and entertainment history.
Last year we concentrated on tribute documentary films, this year we want to also pay tribute to music DVDs and videos, past and present. From the early days of MTV, CMT and VH-1, music videos became an integral part of
the music biz, we want to honor that video/dvd history, from Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing", to the great music
videos by today's artists, the new evolution in music is DVDs, VODs, MP3s, and...
The evolving Digital Worlds are part of the evolution that we're seeing now in the entire entertainment business.
New Media, Social Networking, and the multi-platform delivery of music, film, tv and vod on the Internet, mobile is
the 3rd screen, user generated content, and other innovations that are just now being released, will be part of the
of this Virtual Wild West Digital Film Fest...the future is now, and we'll take you after the future.
The 2nd Paso Digital Film Festival was streamed for 4 hours a day for 3 days...this was the launch of a benefit we
will further develop to help our emerging film makers to reach a much larger audience than those that attend the
film festival. With the viral marketing efforts and offering filmmakers the use of the new technology we will take the
filmmakers to a much larger audience than most other film festivals.
In the early days there were the troubadours and the singing minstrels, then came the medicine
shows to the towns of America...then the tent Shows, rag operas, tent reps barnstormed, and
took entertainment on the road. Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show begins to roll, and we hear
the music "there's no business like show business", then vaudeville, Broadway and the flickers...
In 1913, Cecil B. DeMille rents a barn in Hollywood near the corner of Hollywood and Vine, and
makes the movie "The Squaw Man"...the wireless, the talking machine, and on to TV, and Video,
Buddy Holly in a plane, some music dies, and Kristofferson and Willie Nelson load up and are...
"On The Road Again"...while the Internet streams a Wild West Digital Film Festival to the world,
from an ancient hot springs town that Jessie James' uncle built here in cowboy wine country...
Enlarge thy tents, Strengthen thy stakes. Isaiah 54:2
