Join us for a reading of Debbie Kellogg's winning script from our 2008 Washington State Screenplay Competition. In Castaway Vacation, a bossy sister and her stubborn brother get lost canoeing in the fog while on vacation on the coast of British Columbia. When picked up by imbecile smugglers, they outsmart them, escape with supplies, land on a remote island, and discover that they have mistakenly taken the smugglers drugs and must now plan both their defense and their rescue.

Debbie Kellogg is a Northwest native, former president of the Northwest Screenwriters Guild and has been writing screenplays for fifteen years. Two of her feature scripts have been optioned, but have not yet made it to the big screen. Debbie resides in Woodinville, close to family, friends and within walking distance of a movie theater.

NWFF's quarterly Film Saloon-A panel discussion and socializing event for the local film community. This quarter, we invite accomplished, local filmmakers to share with us some of their disaster stories from behind the camera. As a filmmaker starting out, it's easy to get discouraged by setbacks and snafus, but even the best directors need to perfect their skills with a little trial and error. Our panelists have experienced it all: prop car failure in the high desert, misplaced bribes in India, fogged film from the airport x-ray machine, and even more hair-raising tales! Participate in the discussion and share some of your own horror stories from on the set. Beverages in which to drown your sorrows will be served in plentiful quantities.

Panelists include: John Jeffcoat, Sue Corcoran and Kris Kristensen. Moderated by Andy Spletzer.
