StarNow.com Short Film Seminar
Wellington

Paramount Cinema
Show Me Shorts Festival presents the StarNow Short Film Festival in Wellington on November 14th. Open to the public, it
is specially suited to those who are interested in short film making and provides an opportunity to meet experienced
filmmakers, see some great shorts and learn about the work that has gone into the filmmakers projects.
Hosted by Show Me Shorts Festival Director Gina Dellabarca, this years event will have the following panelists:
David Strong
David's short film ‘Pacific Dreams’ recently won Dame Kate Harcourt a Best Actress award at the Rhode Island
International Film Festival. A sweet and strong tale about how one can be a nonconformist in a good way, and how age
doesn't have to stop you from having a good time.
David has previously worked on 48 Hour movies and was the military advisor to the big production Water Horse, and is
currently writing on new feature length projects.
Michelle Savill
Michelle has her new short ‘Michelle Rides Again’ in this years festival programme, she had Betty Banned Sweets in the
2008 programme, she has worked as an assistant to the director on Home By Christmas. But there is more: she recently
finished an internship with Killer Films in New York and went to the Berlinale Campus earlier this year. In other words:
this is one young creative that will have good stories to share.
Paul Glubb and Nic Gorman
The duo of fun that is Paul and Nic cowrote and starred in the hilarious short ‘Erotic Services’ - the story of a man
trying to try out new things life has to offer him, with unexpected results.
In addition to acting, Nic also works as a writer, he is a qualified secondary school teacher and an improvisor. Paul
does the same things, just swap the teaching with high end visual effects.
