Client Focused Media Video Team Named as Finalists in the Slamdance Film Competition
Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 14, 2016 – Client Focused Media and
Buzz Media are proud to announce Mark Marlar and Joey Vokac have been picked as
finalists for the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. Marlar and Vokac
make up the video team at the two entities and worked independently with two
other filmmakers on a short film, which they submitted to the competition.
Their film, a documentary titled “Mo’Freaka,” was picked for the finals and the
team will be headed to Utah in January for the festival.
Marlar, who is the video director at CFM, served as the
producer and sound production manager for the project. Vokac, a videographer
with CFM, was the director. Derek Fleming was the writer and editor and Kyle
Vaughn was the camera operator. The team had just five days to put together the
film, which is a self-titled mockumentary featuring an aspiring hip-hop artist
from Jacksonville.
“Working on a five-day schedule forces you to be extremely
creative and realistic,” said Marlar. “As a team, we really had to dial down
the pre-production process to have enough time to shoot and edit the film.
Above all, it can get very frustrating working on such a tight schedule, so
constant communication as a team was key.”
The story of “Mo’Freaka” follows the struggles of an up and
coming musician. It shows how he deals with rejection from family, friends and
society as he works through the daily grind of trying to make it as a hip-hop
artist. The film was chosen out of a group of thousands and will show with
about 100 others at the film festival, which takes place simultaneous to the
Sundance Film Festival in Park City.
“Being a finalist in a national competition really gave us
the confidence we needed to move forward as filmmakers,” said Vokac. “Having
credible sources judge your work can be tough, but now we know that we have
what it takes to compete with a higher level of filmmakers.”
The Slamdance Film Festival will be held January 20-26, 2017
in Park City, Utah. The festival was created in 1995 by filmmakers for
filmmakers. The organization is focused on fostering the development of unique
and innovative filmmakers. Up-and-coming writers, directors and producers will
be showcasing their work alongside seasoned veterans of the industry.
