Written By~ JR Resnick      
Film Office Intern

ABC's Extreme Home Makeover: Home Edition will rebuild a home in Clay County. Extreme Home Makeover was here in North Florida not too long ago, in December 2009, rebuilding a home for a family in Gainesville.

Ark Remodeling & Construction of Gainesville and J.A. Long Design Builders of Orange Park have been chosen for the Clay County build. They plan on starting the week-long build on January 27th. Although the family and the exact location won't be released until the week of Jan. 24, word is spreading about this extraordinary task of a building a home in a single week!

Those who are interested in lending a hammering hand, and possibly getting on television, can visit-http://www.northfloridaextrememakeover.com.

People, contractors or construction experts who want to volunteer to work on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition for Clay County are encouraged to apply!

Mid-Summer Release of New Film "Veer"

Local filmmaker Patrick Barry is optimistic about a mid-summer release of his new film Veer. He is very excited about having the opportunity to make his first ever feature length film and is expecting to enter it into the major film festivals like The Sundance Festival.

Barry says making a feature length film has been a lot of work, but a lot of fun at the same time. The film was shot half in HD and half in Super 16 film and was edited with Final Cut Pro.

Veer is a new full-length independent film produced and shot in Jacksonville, which stars an all-Florida cast and crew. Barry and producer Kristen Walsh also casted the film.

Barry has networked over the years and has surrounded himself with talented people. He was able to confidently make his local choices for cast and crew.

Barry made a lot of contacts interning with Jacksonville Film and Television Office when he was a senior in high school. Barry said, "The best thing I got out of interning with the Jacksonville Film and Television Office was learning various aspects of the film production procedures."

He was able to understand the process of finding and securing locations and crew. He said, "I don't know how you would learn otherwise if not from interning."
