Work In Progress:FOCAL POINT
February 16, 2011

Learn More >>> about our Work in Progress film program
Digital Video Arts has just partnered with the JFF to host our Works In Progress Series on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. 6:30-8:30 program. Works In Progress is a once a month program designed for filmmakers to share their work and receive feedback from our filmmaking community. ”Works” include feature films, short films, documentaries, screenplays and music for film.
"Focal Point" by Jennie Jarvis tells the story of an aspiring documentary filmmaker as she chronicles the tale of a young man who believes that he is destined to save the universe from an unknown fate. When the young man discovers that his destiny is to lead a normal life and not the super hero one that he imaged, the documentary filmmaker is forced to rethink her own destiny. In this self-reflexive satire on the nature of disillusionment, everyone is quick to point out the delusion of others, never wanting to look at their own very human flaws.

Time: February 16th, 2011 at 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Location: Digital Video Arts, 7775 Belfort Parkway Jacksonville, Florida 32256
