Cinema Verite

Summer and a young man's fancy turns to movies. No, not the over-hyped, over-budget, overwrought blockbusters that Hollywood cranks out every year. We're talking about the classics of cinema. Films that have stood the test of time and continue to entertain and enlighten us to this day.

In order to properly pay homage to these movie masterpieces, we are going to bring some of them back to life, with a modern twist. A blending of old movies with new media. And so, in collaboration with Freedom Dogs, we are pleased to announce the creation of the first annual Hugh Hewitt Film Festival.

The festival will be held at a middle school gym in Warren, Ohio at a time to be announced later and will include several remakes of classics of the big screen with everybody's favorite shock jock playing prominent roles. A panel of celebrity judges (and Emmett Of The Unblinking Eye) will critique the entries and present the coveted "Pants D'ocker Award" for the film they consider best in class.

The first entry in the competition is a joint venture between FD and FL Productions. It's a tribute to the Alfred Hitchcock horror classic that ruffled many a feather in its day:



It also features a cameo appearance by our own Atomizer, who appropriately reprises the role of the kid who gets attacked on the playground.

Budding filmmakers out there still have time to finish up their editing and get their movies submitted for consideration. Details on how to enter the festival are available at Freedom Dogs.
