T/F Local Coverage Round-Up!

The press evidently loves a good old-fashioned nonfiction film festival. Here are some of the articles that have appeared in local outlets about T/F:

KRCG-TV 13 talks with festival organizers David Wilson and Paul Sturtz. A quick interview that covers the festival's basics. Best quote:

"...if you are putting on a festival, then you want to believe that films can change people’s lives. Most of the time, they don’t. Most of the time, people watch a film and maybe they learn something or experience a subtle change in their lives. To have that direct a moment where someone watches something, then walks out and commits to doing something for other people, that is really incredible. That’s what our True/False Film Festival is all about." - David Wilson

The Columbia Missourian previews a selection of the festival's films. Includes links to some of the official film sites, with trailers as well. A nice pocket companion.

---

He linked to us, so let's return the favor: Pete Bland of the Columbia Daily Tribune blogs about the festival. It's called "Inside the Slash." Hardly bland, I'd say!

---

The Trib also ran a delightful feature on the volunteers whose steel-eyed determination and boundless enthusiasm keep T/F running. Lovely portraits of some of the prominent volunteering faces - such as this blog's own Paula Elias - are included. Here's to doing what you love.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch film critic Joe Williams is also down with the T/F, featuring it alongside the Big Muddy Film Festival in a recent column. Included are his recommended films at True/False.

If you're near the Mizzou campus, be sure to pick up a copy of the new issue of the Maneater's MOVE Magazine, which has T/F featured on its cover. They don't have an online edition, but hey, there's nothing wrong with the smooth sensation of paper running through one's fingers, or the gentle rustle of the pages as they flap together. Mmm... I'm getting wistful just writing about it.

And check out our partners in blogging crime over at True Slash False. They are both official and unauthorized - and, you know, funny.

That's all for now. I'll keep an eye out for other media coverage!
