The 6th Silver Wave Film Festival Announces Full Line-up of
Films & Special Events
Fredericton, NB - The 6th Annual Silver Wave Film Festival,
November 8-12, 2006, today announced its line up of films and
special events for this year's Festival. Over 40 Films from New
Brunswick, the Atlantic region, across Canada and around the world
will grace Silver Wave movie screens this November.
"Last year we celebrated our 5th anniversary by presenting
an excellent program to our most receptive audience ever. From our
Opening Night Gala Screening of Deepa Mehta’s Water and the
exotic food and dance gathering afterwards at Dolans, we set a very
high bar for ourselves," says Film Co-op President John
Christenson. "This year, with another line up of excellent
films, strong niche programs and our largest number of guest
filmmakers in attendance, we are raising the bar once again. The
Festival is about the love of cinema and we know that our audience
will find something to love at Silver Wave this year.
The Opening Gala film for the festival will be the feature film
Black Eyed Dog, which was written by NB Film Co-op member Jeremy
Bouchard, shot in Moncton and Shediac, and produced by Grana
Productions based in Moncton, New Brunswick. The Screening of Black
Eyed Dog will take place on Wednesday, November 8, at 7pm at Tilley
Hall, University of New Brunswick Campus, Fredericton, NB.
The Opening Gala Party afterwards at Dolan’s Pub in downtown
Fredericton (349 Kings St.) will welcome filmmakers, sponsors,
festival attendees and party-goers. There will be food and live
entertainment.
The cornerstone of the Festival, NB Shorts I & II will now
show on November 10 & 11 at the Fredericton Playhouse. The
annual Silver Wave Awards will be spotlighted following NB Shorts
II on Saturday night, followed by the rip roaring Latino Fiesta put
on by the Latino Association of NB at the Fredericton Farmer’s
Market.
Other special films and screening programs featured at this
year's Festival over the five days include French and Aboriginal
screening programs, free Sunday matinee documentary screenings, don’t
miss features: The Journals of Knud Rasmussen, A Silent Love, House of Sand and Half Nelson and the always quirky and
contagious mid-night screening program aptly themed this year
(Dreams, Death & Horror)
Closing the 6th annual SWFF on Sunday, November 12, 7pm at
Tilley Hall, UNB Campus will be the Gala feature film Bon Cop, Bad
Cop. This film has become the highest-grossing Canadian film in
Canada, of all time. The comedy claimed this title by knocking
Porky's out of the position that it has held since 1982.
In addition to screenings and parties, the SWFF presents an
annual Industry Series, a series of panels, discussions, and master
classes with renowned industry professionals.

“Working with Professional Performers" with Gary Vermeir
from ACTRA Maritimes.
The quality of any production – be it a lovingly hand-crafted
art piece to an industrial training video to a large-budget
commercial production – will only be enhanced by a cast of
performers who are skilled, trained, talented and dedicated to
their craft.
ACTRA Maritimes represents over 600 professional performers in
the region – many of whom live and work in New Brunswick. Branch
Representative Gary Vermeir will discuss the various aspects of
engaging professional talent, such as ACTRA’s various collective
agreements (the Training Film Agreement has been accessed by
several NB Film Co-op filmmakers/producers over the years),
auditions and talent calls … and what a performer needs from a
filmmaker in order to do their very best work. “
Stay
tuned for more Silver Wave Industry Series updates as New Brunswick
Film Day and Telefilm Canada Day come together.

STORIES
SPOTLIGHT!
Ethnic Rainbows/Native Casting
Who are we?
- A service to the Entertainment Field, broadly encouraging
education by networking with links of support for entertainers
- Encouraging equality and respect as a team to the
many fields in the industry of entertainment.
Ethnic Rainbows/Native Casting was formed in 1997, in Calgary,
Alberta on a multicultural level, developed to encourage respect to
ethnics, culture and tradition. It exists to raise awareness of rules and regulations in
film, commercials, festivals and community events etc. Visual and non
visual minorities are respected and informed of their rights in projects in
North America.
Over the years, Ethnic Rainbows/Native Casting has provided: mentoring in services for film and
television productions, liaison services to productions
for producers, directors, land and location
personnel, assisting with wrangling in the areas of livestock,
farmhouses, barns, properties and backdrop sceneries. Over time, Ethnic
Rainbows has grown in its expertise of visual sensitivity to accommodate
any script or entertainment project endeavor.
The reason for our passionate company name is SarahLouise Brown who owns and runs the
company. She is of mixed cultures; a combination of six: Scottish,
Jewish, African, European, French, German and Canadian Native Indian.
Her magnetic charisma, assertive concern and direction is a
true attribute in the very demanding industry she works in. While SarahLouise was raising a family of
four, as a single
parent, she managed to balance family and career, grateful to her
Higher Power, that the
children enjoyed the industry as much as she did. Working with T.V.
series for Walt Disney, HBO movies and family oriented movies.
Over the years SahahLouise has been involved with elementary to high school
level youth and parents in the integration of small drama departments
in schools and communities. She has encouraged the different
communities she works with to seek harmony and independence. Her
expertise and wisdom has been
appreciated.
SarahLouise' s passion for the arts is deep rooted in her family
history on both sides. Her passion for obtaining wisdom, love of
music and writing is a blend
from her fathers side. Her appreciation of classic expression,
where
there are no limits, love of life and guiding people stems from her
mothers side.
 She started out in
Ottawa. Her first casting opportunity took place on a
major production with Donald Sutherland. The location for the film was Ottawa General
Hospital. She enjoyed conversations with the very attentive Keiffer Sutherland, as he followed his father through
out the
set.
As a youth, SarahLouise enjoyed singing, drama, ballet and
choreography of neighborhood and community plays.
After the experience and opportunity on her first film working as
an extra and an assistant to the casting director for the
multicultural community, she was strongly encouraged to continue in
the industry.
The words said to her: "you got what it takes", never
left her.
It was at that point that she knew where her talent was. Her love of organization and
encouragement were her key strengths to continue on. Click here to read more
