An iTunes Logo for Filmmakers

Image
An iTunes Logo for FILMMAKERS While poking around online for an iTunes logo for independent filmmakers, I noticed there wasn't much besides the standard iTunes logo for musicians - nothing specifically geared for filmmakers selling their movies on iTunes.  So, I decided to make an iTunes logo first and foremost to promote the purchase of our feature road movie, ' Lost in New Mexico: The Strange Tale of Susan Hero ' and ' BookWars ' on iTunes. Feel free to download and use this custom iTunes logo for filmmakers - if you enjoy this logo, kindly make a contribution in any amount to our ongoing creative services for indie filmmakers Notice that the URL for the movie is at a diminished opacity, so filmmakers can take this iTunes logo and overwrite that section with their own URL quite easily. Contact us at camerado@camerado.com with any inquiries

CamboFest's 2009 Re-Discovery and Revival of a Vintage Cinema in Southeast Asia, 'The Royal' in Kampot, Cambodia

Image
Just back from Kampot, Cambodia , location of the historic CAMBOFEST, Cambodia Film Festival ( www.cambofest.com ), 3rd edition, where CamboFest staffers re-discovered and revived the once popular vintage Cambodian cinema house, the ROYAL (established in 1955 or so) As seen in previous coverage from that CamboFest event , the Royal had been unused since 1986, and had been completely forgotten by most, including all long time expatriates in the region. However, many older Cambodian Kampot residents remembered the old vintage cinema house very well. In 2009, CamboFest staffers including coordinator Phun Sokunthearith (Mr. Tol) and founder/co-organizer Jason Rosette had stumbled upon the old venue while searching for reputed vintage cinema houses in the area. Among those venues visited were two of the other original cinema halls in Kampot, the Makara ('January') and the Santhapeap ('Friendship'). However, the Royal did not stand out as a cinema house at first: i...

Cambodian Princess Soma Norodom , working with the 'Freedom Deal' movie production effort in Cambodia as a local PR & Outreach Liaison, makes the following statement:   "With the support of the international media and filmmaking community, the story told in ' Freedom Deal ' , about an unexplored part of US-Cambodian history during the Indochina conflict, can finally be told from a Cambodian perspective."

Image
Met with more talent today, for Camerado's FREEDOM DEAL feature effort here in Phnom Penh Cambodia; this was local casting session #3 . We're currently running Cambodia's first-ever crowd funding campaign for a feature film to help raise funds to shoot a section of the full length movie; contribute and participate in our effort on IndieGogo at:  http://www.indiegogo.com/freedomdeal-vietnam-war-cambodia-part-1 In particular (and most challenging to find) we met with four contenders for the role of 'Nuon' , the musician/refugee who plays a Cambodian instrument called the Tro Khmer. In the 'Freedom Deal' story, Nuon and the young protagonist, Samnang ('Lucky') make their way on foot to the safety of the provincial capital as the civil war expands into Cambodia.    'Freedom Deal' takes place during the 1970 US-ARVN 'Cambodian Incursion', during which Nixon sought to locate and destroy NVA & Viet Cong sanctuar...
