Prepare for Lift Off: Third Elevate Film Festival Kicks Off Dec. 8

The event is designed to inspire people to consider oneness with their body, mind, spirit, environment, community and globe. Nine professional filmmakers will pick subjects randomly from the hat, and have 48 hours to deliver their completed short films (11 minute maximum length) or music videos (4 minute maximum length). These films will be displayed Sunday in the Civic Auditorium as the 3rd Elevate Film and Music Festival.

Los Angeles, CA. (PRWEB) December 4, 2006 -- The third Elevate Film Festival will take place as part of the Celebration of Oneness, a two-day multi-media event that will take place at the Pasadena Convention Center and Civic Auditorium on December 9th and 10th. The event is designed to inspire people to consider oneness with their body, mind, spirit, environment, community and globe. Nine professional filmmakers will pick subjects randomly from the hat, and have 48 hours to deliver their completed short films (11 minute maximum length) or music videos (4 minute maximum length). These films will be displayed Sunday in the Civic Auditorium as the 3rd Elevate Film and Music Festival.

"When I heard the tagline for the Elevate Film and Music Festival, 'Lifting consciousness 48 hours at a time'™ I couldn't wait to meet one of its creators, Mikki Willis" said Colleen Cackowski, CEO and Founder of Dragonfly Now, producer of Celebration of Oneness.

The third Elevate Film Festival will take place as part of the Celebration of Oneness, a two-day multi-media event that will take place at the Pasadena Convention Center and Civic Auditorium on December 9th and 10th. The event is designed to inspire people to consider oneness with their body, mind, spirit, environment, community and globe. For people who consider their consciousness and happiness a priority, they will love the event and this wondrous film festival.

The Elevate Film and Music Festival is a reflection of Mikki, a very uplifting and loving soul who also happens to be a brilliant photographer, director and producer. One of his missions is to challenge international filmmakers to make films that will make a difference, and that get the word out about organizations and individuals who are having a positive impact on our world.

At 9:00 a.m. at KTLA on Friday, December 8th, Mikki Willis will put uplifting or inspiring subject matters in a hat. Nine professional filmmakers will pick subjects randomly from the hat, and have 48 hours to deliver their completed short films (11 minute maximum length) or music videos (4 minute maximum length).

After a two-day countdown, while filmmakers scurry around Los Angeles, shooting and editing their films in guerilla style, at 4:00 p.m. on December 10th, three thousand people will gather to be lifted up and out of their seats at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium for the screening of all nine films and music videos.

It's not often that film festivals come to the San Gabriel Valley, let alone one whose intention is to have its audience feel good! If you are in the mood for happy, if you are up to supporting filmmakers who are up to making a difference in the world, and celebrating others doing the same, then this is the Film Festival for you.
