The Alaska Ocean’s Film Festival returns to Juneau with a screening at Silverbow this Saturday, March 20th, at 7pm. Admission is free and tickets can be picked up at JAHC to reserve your seat.
This is always a great collection of short films exploring the human connection to the ocean.
News of a film noir short dropped on my doorstep while I was out of town and it sounds promising. The film, Strictly Business: The Prologue comes from filmmaker Daniel Hernandez of Borderline Pictures and was shot entirely in Alaska. It seems to be influenced, at least slightly, by the Veco investigations.
“America’s most distant metropolis is hooked on some of the finest narcotics in the world. The man working this lucrative drug empire has no idea he’s about to lose it all when the boss he’s never met goes on trial.”

The Juneau Economic Development Council is looking for local filmmakers to create videos for Google’s Ultra High Speed Broadband Experiment.
Google will choose one or more community to use as a trial location for a new gigabit-per-second fiber network and these short films and videos could help influence their decision.
I realize the deadline in this letter is the 19th but the final applications aren’t due until March 26th so I think there’s some flexibility if you’re interested in participating. I apologize for not posting this earlier, I’ve been traveling and generally distracted.
If you’re interested in whipping something up, please contact Heather Brandon at 907-523-2334.
