Fugitive/Die Hard Screenwriter Featured at Charlotte Film Event

Here's an e-mail that I received that will be of interest to all you "film folks" in the Charlotte area. I hope to see you there!

Hi all,

It’s me again, inviting you to “film people,” an awesome event on Tuesday night, April 21st, part of CPCC’s ArtsFest week. (It's free!)

Please come, bring your friends, and join Charlotte’s “film people” as they welcome Jeb Stuart, the screenwriter of such classic Hollywood hits as "Die Hard" and "The Fugitive.” Jeb has many additional blockbuster screen credits to his name, and recently produced and directed "Blood Done Sign My Name" right here in the greater Charlotte area.

Also appearing is H. Blake Edwards, the young man from Charlotte whose short film Perfecto just won a major YouTube competition, providing him and his crew an opportunity to be a part of the Sundance Film Festival.

Beth Petty, Rick Eldridge, and Bert Hesse will also be back again with new and exciting productions that were all produced here in Charlotte. Cindy Castano will emcee the event. She is an award-winning documentarian as well as a global humanitarian. Francis Shepherd senior systems engineer for Apple.

And not to be missed are the “Film of the Year “awards to CPCC’s own talented film/video students. Please come and give them the chance they deserve to screen their work in front of a real audience. Again, it’s on Tuesday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m., in the prestigious Halton Theater.

You can meet each of these professionals after the show. They are ready for your questions. Come early to get a seat.

We’ll be there, to say hello…… “film people”…….

Thanks for caring,

George Cochran
CPCC Film/Video Instructor
