>>VIC MICOLUCCI: THAT WAS A CLIP FROM COMING HOME, A FILM ABOUT 2 AIRMEN THAT WAY DOWN A
DELAY AT THE AIRPORT ON THEIR
LAST LEG HOME
FROM A LONG DEPLOYMENT
OVERSEAS, THE DIRECTOR OF
THE FILM. NOW CALLS
JACKSONVILLE HOME TRULY A
SPECIAL ONE THERE I LOOK
FORWARD TO SEEING IT.
JOINING US THIS MORNING TO TALK
ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE BEING
OFFERED PLUS THE CHANGES
TO THE FESTIVAL BECAUSE OF THE
PANDEMIC TIM DRISCOLL THE FILM
PROGRAMMER, HOW ARE YOU TIM.
WELL HOW YOU DOING TODAY DOING
GREAT. THANK YOU SO
THAT IS A TOUCHING ONE THAT’S
GOING TO RESONATE WITH SO MANY
PEOPLE BECAUSE WE ARE SUCH A
MILITARY AREA HERE IN
NORTHEAST, FLORIDA AND
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA.
TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT
BEFORE WE GET INTO THE
FILM FEST.
>> I’M SURE I MEAN WITH THAT
AND THAT’S WHEN WE FIRST WE’RE
ALL INSTANTLY MOVED BY BECAUSE
OF THE OF A TOUCHING STORY VERY
PERSONAL I THINK WHAT PEOPLE
HERE IN THE JACKSON AREA SO WE
CONNECT TO BECAUSE OF SET PIECES A MILITARY COMMUNITY. ACTUALLY
PLEASED TO HAVE THAT AS WE
ALWAYS GET TO BE PRO-MILITARY
FILMS. IT’S A PERSONNEL FILMS.
SO THE FACT THAT CAME THROUGH
TO US AND WE SAW AND WE KNEW
INSTANTLY THAT HAD SOME
PARTNER PROGRAM.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: ALL RIGHT SO
YOU’VE BEEN ON OUR SHOW MANY
TIMES TALKING ABOUT THE
JACKSONVILLE FILM FESTIVAL I’VE
BEEN ABLE TO ATTENDED IT’S
ALWAYS FUN.
THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE
OF THE PANDEMIC TELL ME ABOUT
THE CHANGES.
>> YES, SO THIS OBVIOUSLY WE
BECAUSE GREAT VARIOUS PARTICLES
IN COVID SAFETY ISSUES WERE NOT
TO HAVE FULL CAPACITY SO WE’RE
GOING TO BE OFFERING A 50%
CAPACITY IN BOTH OF OUR
THEATERS. ADDITION ON OUR STAFF
TO GET TESTED TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE’RE ON NEGATIVE OVER THERE.
SO OUR PATRONS CAN KNOW THAT
THEY FEEL SAFE THAT THAT PEOPLE
ARE INTERACTING WITH ARE
NEGATIVE ON TOP
OF TESTING. WE’LL ALSO BE
WEARING MASKS AND FACE SHIELDS
WAS SANITATION STATIONS
THROUGHOUT THE THEATER AND THEN
OF COURSE BETWEEN BLOCKS OF
FILMS WILL BE WIPING DOWN THE
THEATER, CLEANING IT SO THAT
YOU CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE AND
SAFE. WHY WATCH A BUNCH OF
GREAT MOVIES.
>>VIC MICOLUCCI: LET’S TALK
ABOUT THE LINE-UP THIS YEAR 80
FILMS ALL ACROSS THE
WORLD TRULY. SOME WITH LOCAL
TIES SOME THAT ARE JUST
INTERESTING
TO EVERYBODY. INDEED YOU WE’RE
REALLY WITH THE FILM A PROGRAM
WE HAVE THIS YEAR OBVIOUSLY
BECAUSE YOU COULD BE PUT IT
TOGETHER. WHAT THE DAMAGE TO
MOST EXCITED ABOUT IS WE HAVE A
BLOCK THIS DEDICATED TO
IRANIAN FILMS AND OFTEN I THINK
IT’S CERTAINLY THE STATES WE
HERE AND THERE’S
POLITICAL CONNOTATIONS PRAY
ABOUT THESE MOVIES IS THEIR
STORIES LOCAL IRANIANS AND THE
STRUGGLES THEY HAVE
THERE ARE A LOT LIKE THE
STRUGGLES THAT WE HAVE HERE
UNITED STATES ALSO I THINK
THAT’S GOING TO BE REALLY
POWERFUL PROGRAM TO SEE PEOPLE
LIVING LIVES.
STILL THE SAME WE ARE OUTSIDE
OF THE POLITICAL SYSTEM SO
AS FAR AS THAT THAT STUFF GOES
AND MAKES ABOUT THAT WE ALSO
THE
FILM CALLED NATIONAL STRINGS
ATTACHED THOSE WHO ARE FAMILIAR
WITH THE FUNDING THROUGH THE
THEY KNOW YEARS AGO THAT IT
WOULD CUT SHOTS THAT THE JETS
VESSEL MANY YEARS AGO AND THAT
RECORD GOING BACK TO THE STONE
CAUTIONS ATTACHED ABOUT THE DOVER QUARTET WERE ACTUALLY NOMINATED FOR A GRAMMY THIS
YEAR.
AND I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT TO
POINT OUT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
MIGHT NOT THINK ABOUT THIS, BUT
YOU ARE ACTUALLY
SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES
WHEN YOU’RE SUPPORTING THESE
FILMS BECAUSE
YOU’VE GOT ACTORS ACTRESSES ALL
THAT FILM CREW ALL THE PEOPLE
BEHIND THE SCENES AND THEY
DON’T HAVE THOSE BIG
HOLLYWOOD BUDGETS.
>> THAT IS CORRECT YOU ACTUALLY
WOULD SAY JUST AS A FILMMAKER
MYSELF ALSO A LOT OF THESE
STORMS ARE BEING
MADE FOR PRETTY MUCH IF THE
CRUISING PAY THAT’S I HOPE
THEY ARE. THE LA TIMES COLORS
MAKE THE STALLED BECAUSE THE
PASSION OF THE STORY TO TIME
THEIR FRIENDS. THEY WANT TO GET
TOGETHER THEY WANT TO MAKE
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND SO
WE’RE EXCITED TO SHOWCASE THAT
BECAUSE A LOT OF HARD WORK THAT
GOES INTO
THESE PROJECTS AND ANY PLACE BE
SEEN SO WE HOPE IT WILL COME
OUT AND PARTICIPATE
