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.

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.
