                              Rick Carter, Robert Stromberg & Kim Sinclair
                                    production designers and art director

RECENT SCORES: The trio shared Oscars, BAFTAs, ADG and Saturn awards for their work on "Avatar." Carter, Oscar-nominated for "Forrest Gump," and whose collaborations with Steven Spielberg ("A.I.," "Amistad") scored ADG nominations and an AFI production designer of the year nomination ("A.I."), was also up for a Saturn Award along with Stromberg (Oscar-nominated for "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World") for their work on "Avatar."

COMING UP:  Carter recently finished Zack Snyder's "Sucker Punch",  and has reteamed with Spielberg on "War Horse”. Stromberg worked on Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" and is vfx supervisor on the upcoming "Angel Camouflaged." Sinclair is in pre-production on Rob Cohen's "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage," slated for a 2011 release, before beginning 2012's "The Wind in the Willows."
Guy Hendrix Dyas:  production designer

RECENT SCORES: The BAFTA and ADG-nominated designer earned critical acclaim for films such as "Elizabeth: The Golden Age," "Superman Returns" and "Agora." For his latest pic, "Inception," Dyas, used a massive catalog of images to create the film's elaborate imaginary landscapes. While some of the more ethereal environments incorporated vfx, "having a majority of practical sets and real locations to shoot in was important for Chris," said Dyas. 

COMING UP:  Dyas, who worked for Steven Spielberg on "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, is assisting the helmer on a new project.

Phil Ivey: production designer

RECENT SCORES: Standout look of "District 9" earned Ivey a BAFTA nom last year. Distinctive approach to production design won a DGA award for "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers." "I was heavily influenced by '70s cinema when I was a teenager growing up in the mid-'80s," he says. "Films like 'The Deer Hunter,' 'Taxi Driver' (and) 'Apocalypse Now' with strong narrative that weren't overpowered by over-designed sets."

JUNE 1, 2011 BULLETIN
Angel Camouflaged wins Silver Medal for best use of music in a feature film at the prestigeous Park City Film Music Festival.
May 20 – 30, 2011

A Brief Introduction to the Festival
The Park City Film Music Festival is a new independent film festival, presenting film music competition for both INDIE and studio-sponsored films, a performance showcase for composers with seminars for composers, musicians, songwriters and groups.
About the Festival         The seventh annual PARK CITY FILM MUSIC FESTIVAL (PCFMF) will be held in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, May 20 - 30, 2011. This is the first film festival in the world singularly recognizing the contribution of composers and their music to film, and the first of such festivals in the Americas. Awards are given in the categories of Best Use of Music in Full-Length Feature Film, Best Use of Music in Documentary Film, and Best Use of Music in Short Film and, new this year, Best Performance/Experimental Music Film. The first major film festival to recognize film music as part of the awards lineup since 1985 is the Flanders International Film Festival - Ghent, which currently draws over 80,000 devotees.
Film music, whose broad appeal continues to gain prominence in the music marketplace, has stood for a long time recognized only at the very highest levels: the Academy awards, the Emmys, the Grammys, and a few others. The growing stature of film music is exemplified in the announcement in 2005 of the Pulitzer prizes qualifying film music for the first time after over 60 years. The 2010 Film Festival has accepted over 200 qualifying entries which will vie for the top awards.

The music in this year's competition again resulted in a number of ties for top awards. The Jury for the Festival would like to thank all the composers and filmmakers who submitted this year, and to congratulate all the composers and supervisors on their outstanding contributions to the art of filmmaking.

UPDATE: 07-15-2010
   "Angel Camouflaged" has received four nominations at the prestigious Pasadena Action on Film International Film Festival.
Director/Cinematographer Michael Givens has been nominated as "Best Cinematographer", and "Best Artwork". James Brolin has been nominated as "best supporting actor", and most important, Dilana has been nominated as "Best Actress"! We feel that this is just the beginning of a series of awards and accolades that will be coming our way. 

 

Angel Camouflaged was just nosed out by a military film for the Grand Award for Best Feature Film in the Beauford International Film Festival. During the showing, the management had to open up a second theater to accomodate the overflowing crowd in an amazing display of support for "Angel" which was the overwhelming popular choice.  The thousands who crowded the two theaters  left the mayor of Buford standing in the wings with no where to sit.  Angel will be showing again in the Charleston International Film Festival which will be held next month.
