Back in Asia / New Call for Entries

Back in Asia again after a whirlwind tour to promote CamboFest in the USA...met with some great folks from Cambodia Town in Long Beach, CA (near LA).

In general, huge interest on the part of industry folks on both coasts, who all wanted to see the continued success of CamboFest--in addition to some curiosity and wonder about how we even managed to pull off the first 207 edition in Phnom Penh!

Anyway, a new call for entries is underway for the 2008 edition, with events planned again for both Phnom Penh and Siem Reap--already a big turnout with plenty of submissions rolling in, by filmmakers across the globe who want to show their movies in new places in the developing world.

Thanks to everyone who's submitted their movies so far--winners in all categories will receive the coveted Grabay Meas ("Golden Waterbuffalo") Trophy!

Gearing up for CamboFest: Siem Reap 2007

Now gearing up for CamboFest: Siem Reap Edition 2007, to be held at various venues in Siem Reap (Angkor Wat City), November 30-December 2.

We're hoping to pull off a complete mirror of the program in Phnom Penh this past June, with some new movies; but we'll have to see how the $ goes.
