2012 K24HFF Announcements
It’s hard to believe that the K24HFF is only a little over two months away! Over the next few weeks we’ll be making quite a few exciting announcements! Coming up soon, we’ll be launching three new websites (for Knoxville Films, the K24HFF, and the on-line shoot out), our first promo video will be released, and we’ll have some exciting marketing news to share!
In the mean time, make sure you check out our fabulous new FaceBook page designed by ASEN Marketing. The K24HFF FaceBook page will be the center of the action for all of our festival announcements and updates–we will not be creating an event page–so make sure to “LIKE” this page if you haven’t already.
Stop by and say hello–this page is run by all of the festival coordinators so it’s the best place to interact with us–we want to hear what you are thinking!

Synopsis:
The film centers around Jeremiah, a gallery assistant who receives a wrong number call from his college buddy Paul. Mistaking the call for an invitation back to Knoxville, Jeremiah heads to his old college town to indulge in some nostalgia. When he arrives, he finds that the town has changed. All of his old friends resent him for leaving while their lives have become stagnant. Jeremiah attempts to save their favorite bar from going under as a peace offering. When his plan fails he is forced to consider what is really important and whether or not these people are worth any risk.
The video we made was a bit ridiculous but we felt that we could at least entertain you with our pitch. And dont worry about Ben, our actor. He isn’t really tied up. He’s taped up. Just kidding, no actors were hurt in the making of the video and no actors will be hurt in the production of “Knoxville!” unless they are really asking for it. Like we said in the video the film will have a serious tone, with a lighter side. It’s about impulsiveness, naivety, failure, petty grudges and preserving ones past.
The film takes place in Knoxville Tennessee in real locations that we have already secured. We already have three killer principle actors: Clayton Myers as Jeremiah, Ben Hill as Paul, and Sara Eshleman as Lynn. Our crew is being handpicked and we are planning on bringing in the best equipment available.
Knoxville Films has been around for a few years and we’ve had a lot of fun with events like the Knoxville 24 Hour Film Festival and Cinematini Tuesdays. In this time of declining liberal arts budgets and removal of funding for arts education it’s time for us to get serious. Over the years we have built some name recognition at not only the regional but the state level. We can put that cache to good use to force the powers-that-be to pay attention to the serious need for educational funding for music, theater, graphic arts, photography and the many other artistic disciplines that make our lives complete. These are often the first and easiest budgetary line-items to get the axe.
Check out our new membership drive. It is free and easy. Together, we can show that the arts community is bigger than they think and is a voting block that they cannot ignore.
Please check out our membership page and join us to ensure that our children will have the opportunity to have the full and complete life that arts education has given us.
