    Assemblymember Krekorian Announces Panel of Judges for FILMFEST 43



    Glendale, CA - Praising their "artistic ability and experience," and "a
    willingness to donate time and expertise to reviewing films of aspiring
    local filmmakers," Assemblymember Paul Krekorian (D-Burbank) named the
    judges who will consider the 103 submissions to the first FILMFEST 43,
    set for 6:30 pm, Friday, May 16, at Glendale's iconic Alex Theatre.

    "I am very grateful that Mike Petros, Dug Ward and Robert Peterson have
    taken time from their busy schedules to judge the work of these talented
    and ambitious filmmakers from a dozen high schools throughout my
    district," Assemblymember Krekorian said. "These visual-arts
    professionals bring a wealth of experience and fine critical eyes to
    their task. FILMFEST 43 is greatly enhanced by their presence and
    judgment," he added.

    Mike Petros is an associate professor of television at Glendale
    Community College. He teaches writing and production, and lectures on
    the pervasive influence of this medium. Dug Ward is an adjunct faculty
    member at UCLA's Animation Workshop. A former animator for Fox's King
    of the Hill, he directs the school's MFA graduate-animation program.
    Robert Peterson chairs the graduate film program at Art Center College
    of Design, in Pasadena. He has more than 25 years as an award-winning
    director/cinematographer.

    "FILMFEST 43 submissions include narrative, documentary, animation and
    experimental projects," Assemblymember Krekorian said. "I am very proud
    and pleased that so many young artists in my district have entered their
    work," he added. "This bodes well for the future of the film industry
    in California." Assemblymember Krekorian chairs the Select Committee on
    the Preservation of California's Entertainment Industry.

    FILMFEST 43 is open to the public and admission is free. To RSVP for
    free tickets contact Assemblymember Krekorian's District Service Office
    at (818) 240-6330.
