2011.08.23: “Omaha Fly By” has been accepted into AFF
Scarlett Kelly, Jeff Bate Boerop and Jennifer Ferris share a crazed moment in the film.
Producers Lita Llewellyn and John Christenson are thrilled that the film has been accepted to the festival and hopes audiences across Canada enjoy the comedic short.
“We are absolutely over the moon that the film will premiere at AFF”, Llewellyn said. “As a first-time producer this is a thrill for me and I cannot thank CBC, the NB Filmmakers’ Co-op and the province of New Brunswick enough. Everyone has been so supportive and generous and I’m extremely happy with the final product and response to the film thus far.”
The CBC 3-2-1 Award was given out to the producer team at the 2010 Silver Wave Film Festival hosted by the New Brunswick Filmmakers’ Co-operative.
“I am so excited to hear the news that “Omaha Fly By” has been accepted for screening at the Atlantic Film Festival,” Christenson said. “If ever there was a film that showed true team effort, this is it. From its creation in a writing room to its ensemble cast to the editing and music, I couldn’t be more proud of the work and effort put forward. My thanks to CBC and the 3-2-1 Award, I hope your faith in our project shines on the big screen.”
