[OYAN] 90-Second Newbery is coming to Portland's Hollywood Theatre on February 12, 2017!

[Violeta GARZA]

Hey everyone.

If you haven't heard of the 90-Second Newbery
<http://www.90secondnewbery.com>, it's a festival that showcases youth-made
short films honoring Newbery winners or honor books.

You can participate by attending the festival in February in Portland (the
only Oregon date, alas) and/or you can submit an original video. It is an
entertaining opportunity for teens to hone their leadership and creative
skills. The deadline is January 7, 2017, so if you have a teen council or
group of teen volunteers who are interested in filming videos, now is the
time to start planning.

Press release is below just in case. Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks!
Violeta

Hello, Violeta --

Hey-oh! I hope you're doing well. Just wanted to let you give you a
heads-up that our 90-Second Newbery Film Festival will be returning to
Portland -- this time at the Hollywood Theatre
<http://hollywoodtheatre.org/> (4122 NE Sandy Blvd.) on *Sunday, February
12 at 4:30 pm.* I'm going to co-host it with Portland author Dale
Basye (of *Heck:
Where the Bad Kids Go*) and Chicago author Keir Graff (of the upcoming
*Matchstick
Castle*). It's organized in conjunction Portland Community Media
<https://www.pcmtv.org/>.

I also just rolled out a brand-new 90-Second Newbery Film Festival website:
http://www.90secondnewbery.com

The new website gives a proper home to all the wonderful movies we've
received over the years (along with event listings, links to moviemaking
resources, and more). Of course, YOUR MOVIES are among those featured on
the website! Here they are, each with its own post, complete with judge
commentary:

"From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler" http://90secondne
wbery.com/post/148622118811/from-the-mixed-up-files-of-mrs-basil-e

"The Tale of Despereaux" http://90secondnewbery.com/post/148624825241/

Do you think you and your kids have time to make a movie for this year's
film festival! The deadline for submissions is *January 7, 2017*. That's
about two months away . . . plenty of time to make a movie, but no time to
waste!

I hope to see you when I come in February! And if there are any schools or
libraries you think would be interested in having me come and do an author
visit at while I'm there, please let me know!

Zoop,

James

P.S. I've also put together a press release, if you feel that might help
get the word out.
