Geek Links: 90-Second Newbery Film Festival, 2019


Geek Links are cool stories that we’ve found elsewhere on the internet that we think our readers will love, too. Click through to read:

Over at Fuse#8 Productions, James Kennedy, founder of the 90-Second Newbery Film Festival, has whipped up a guest post to get young book-and-film geeks planning for this coming year’s festival. The premise of the festival is: kids (with minimal grown-up assistance) create minute-and-a-half movies retelling Newbery-Award-winning books. At this link you’ll see some of this past year’s best submissions, a schedule of upcoming festival screenings around the country next spring, and, best of all, a reminder to start working on your own submissions, due January 11, 2019.

I know our GeekFamily community is full of the sort of people who would have a blast with a project like this. Get filmmaking!

Amy Weir

Amy M. Weir is a public youth services librarian in SW Pennsylvania, and there’s nothing she geeks out about more. Outside of work she obsesses over music (especially rock especially psychedelic pop especially The Beatles), sews clothes, gardens when the weather’s nice, avoids housework, and generally is the poster-child for Enneatype 9, which she attempts to counteract with yoga when she remembers. Her entire family has ADHD. This includes an RPG-and-firearms-geek husband who asked her out by playing a Paladin-in-Shining-Armor devoted to serving her character in D&D; a vehicles-and-video-game-geek 14yo named after a hobbit; an art-and-animation-geek 12yo named after a SFF writer; and an Imaginary Husband named Martin Freeman, who isn’t actually aware of this relationship.
