Want to get involved in the local film business? Try adoption.



Okay, so maybe not *in* a film, but the Cucalorus Film Festival is coming up and the organizers are looking for a unique kind of volunteer. (I feel it is only right that you know that I am helping with the festival's PR this year...but if you are looking to get involved, this is one place to do it.)

Cucalorus is looking for people to take a filmmaker into their homes, sharing a guest room. It's a neat way to meet some of the incredible people who are here to promote their creative work--and enjoy what Wilmington has to offer.

Some Cucalorus alumni return and request the same hosts as previous years--the bonds are lasting. There are more than 160 films in the festival and a growing number of filmmakers who want to come to this end of the film festival season...and making it possible for a filmmaker to network and build his or her career.

Hosts are not needed to act as drivers and most of the filmmakers attend festival events during the day (especially since food is readily available!).

So if you have a spare room you'd like to donate...give Cucalorus a call at 343-5995, leave a comment or e-mail me (elizabeth AT wilmaville.com) for more details.

p.s. - Just to keep you in the loop, there will be a Cucalorus Kids Saturday morning of the festival, which runs Wednesday, Nov. 12 through Saturday, Nov. 15.
