The 6th Annual Ashland Independent Film Festival will be held in Ashland, Oregon from April 12-16, 2007. Over 90 documentary, feature and short films will be shown, including four that were nominated for Academy Awards this year. Here's a list of all of the films. Click here for the film schedule.
The highlight of the festival for me is going to be the sneak preview on Friday the 13th of Bruce Campbell's new movie, My Name Is Bruce, in which a small Oregon town, plagued by the Chinese God of War, kidnaps a B-Movie actor (guess who) to help them defeat it.
The movie was shot and produced in Ashland, White City, and the surrounding Southern Oregon area. In honor of this world premiere screening, the Festival is showing other Bruce Campbell cult movie classics that same day, including Bubba Ho-Tep and my personal favorite, Evil Dead II.
I didn't realize until the press about My Name Is Bruce that Bruce Campbell lives 15 minutes from me in Jacksonville, Oregon. How cool is that. He is one of my all-time favorite actors! (Who's laughing now?? bwa ha ha...)
