Local Filmmakers Night

Matt St. Charles has been making movies that he is not embarrassed of since 1999. A child of the 80's, Matt loves old school special effects like you'd find in Star Wars and The Neverending Story. He loves building contraptions to accomplish an effect or camera move, and loves to bounce real light off of real objects. He has made hundreds of commercials, more short films than he can count on both hands, and has cinematographered over four feature films. He works frequently with his parents on smash hits such as Remote Control Grandpa and Hooked on Humboldt. Matt will be revealing the magic behind a variety of clips featuring his special effects work. Expect to see flying cars, flying superheroes, muzzle flashes, miniatures, explosions, stop-motion animation, flying vegetables, and singing hamsters. 

Local Filmmakers Night - a collaboration between Access Humboldt, Humboldt-Del Norte Film Commission and Eureka High School Media Club - is a screening series that supports and promotes the local film community. These events offers an inside look at the filmmaking process by encouraging the filmmakers to share their challenges and learning.

Following the screening, attendees can enjoy Q & A session, movie trivia, prizes, and a reception at the adjacent Access Humboldt's Community Media Center.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Screening starts at 7 p.m. Admission is $5 per person and all are welcome to attend.
