This 'one of a kind wild west digital film fest, took place in cowboy wine country south and sideways of sundance, and at the website thePDFF.com, plus the Festivals INTERNETWORK of websites, social networking sites and on the Premium Independent video sharing and online film site www.openfilm.com/channels/Digital-Media-Festival which is the festival HD Channel on OpenFilm.com, which is headed up by the likes of Robert Duvall, James Cann, Scott Cann and Mark Rydell.
The 3rd annual Paso Digital Film Festival this past November started with a cold front blowing in the day before the festival, bring rain and cold weather and moving the outside music concerts under the big tent that was set up at Le Vigne Winery. However, the weather did not hold back the warmth from the synergy and serendipity that was constant throughout the festival. Films and videos were being also screened at Level 4, La Quinta Hotel Conference room, music at the Pine Street Saloon and films at Franklin's Hot Springs. |

The range of not only the talented characters and filmmakers, but the great range of history that was covered at the festival with movies dating back to the 1931, "Dracula" with Bela Lugosi, then through time to hit independent movies and documentaries from several recent generations past, and movies and shorts made only months prior to the festival. That same historic range ran true in the individuals attending the festival from famous blood lines in the business of film and music entertainment.
Some of the great actors and filmmakers from the present with blood line ties to the early days of film including Bela Lugosi, Jr. the son of Bela Lugiosi, Cass Warner, granddaughter of Harry Warner one of the founding brothers of Warner Brothers, Gena Mertz granddaughter of the famous director King Vidor, actor Francesco Quinn, the son of the one and only Anthony Quinn, Paula Nelson the daughter of music and film legend Willie Nelson. Joining this historical entertainment blood line was Joe Estevez from the Martin Sheen dynasty and Erin Murphy the daughter of filmmaker Dudley Murphy, who all gave the festival a great feel of evolution and passing of the ages of change that we are all experiencing with film evolving from the days of the "shorts" to the digital age, where "shorts" are again part of the moving making landscape. |

ThePDFF also had a wider view of entertainment by not centering on just "films" but took a look at the digital age and the new multi-media and multi-platforms that are evolving exponentially in these changing times. From music video, now music DVDs, to Emmy Award winning HBO TV movies that are now sold as DVDs and digital downloads on Netflix, to live streaming of some of the digital film festival online, including some movies taken right off of youtube.com. All movies are screened on digital HD and Blu-Ray projectors furnished by Matrix Mobile TV of Central California.
To further take thePDFF down the digital cutting edge will be the January 21st launch of Paso Digital VIRTUAL Film Festival online and via the Festival INTERNETWORK of websites and social networking sites. The week prior to that we will be shooting footage at the largest technology expo in the world in Las Vegas, the Consumer Electronic Show, for the Virtual Festival and the DVD, "From Film Festivals to the Digital Age, that is a compulation of the past three Paso Digital Film Festivals, including footage of Clint Eastwood and his key Malpaso Productions staff, and many others that have attended the festival. |
