UCR Playwright's First Film Chosen for Festival
"Adopt a Sailor," a feature film written and directed by UC Riverside playwright Charles Evered, will be an official selection at the 2008 Williamstown Film Festival in Williamstown, Mass., in October.
The film - which stars Emmy and Tony Award-winner Bebe Neuwirth, Emmy winner Peter Coyote and Ethan Peck, grandson of Gregory Peck - premiered at UCR's Palm Desert Graduate Center in August.
Evered, an assistant professor of theatre, wrote "Adopt a Sailor" as a 10-minute play that was part of a Brave New World showcase to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It is the story of a sophisticated couple from New York City's Upper West Side who forget they have volunteered to "adopt" a sailor for dinner during Fleet Week. Evered expanded the play and shifted the focus to a more universal theme about the sacrifices of men and women in the armed forces.
The playwright said he is proud of his first film.
"Adopt a Sailor" will appear at international film festivals before it is released for general distribution, Evered said.

Netflix Movie Watching World Championship to Take Place in Times Square
Their eyes may be glued to the screen, but all eyes will be on the eight competitors who will participate in the Netflix Movie Watching World Championship: The Quest for the Popcorn Bowl. Hosted by Netflix, the world's largest online movie rental service, the grueling movie watching marathon will begin on October 2nd in New York's Times Square and is expected to last until a new Guinness World Record(R), for most consecutive hours spent watching movies, is set five days later on October 7th.
At stake is the undeniable notoriety associated with holding the title of world champion, a $10,000 cash prize, a lifetime subscription to Netflix and the first-ever Popcorn Bowl trophy.
Featuring some of the world's most accomplished endurance enthusiasts, the Netflix Movie Watching World Championship challenges contestants to watch a continuous run of movies in an effort to eclipse the existing world record of 120 hours and 23 minutes held by Ashish Sharma of Mathura, India. Mr. Sharma will be on hand to defend his title. Netflix will also give everyday people a chance to participate by inviting the submission of video auditions at http://www.facebook.com (keyword search: Netflix Movie Watching World Championship). Additional information, including contest rules and other mesmerizing tidbits, can also be found there.
The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. Eastern time with competitors assuming their positions in the Netflix Movie Watching Arena, a plexi-glass living room in the center of New York's Times Square. Gawkers and passersby will have ample opportunity to cheer on or watch in wonderment as each competitor creatively and, towards the finale, desperately attempts to stave off sleep.
Guinness World Records rules require the contestants to watch films non-stop without averting their eyes from the screen. Competitors will be given 10 minutes between each movie, or approximately every two hours, to refresh themselves. Eating, drinking, standing and stretching are allowed as long as eyes are on the screen. Gourmet, chef crafted popcorn will be provided by Dale and Thomas Popcorn throughout the event. Medical professionals will monitor the contestants' conditions throughout the event and assess if contestants are truly "watching" or are simply staring blankly at the screen.

CHUBB Establishes Filmmaker Scholarship
The Chubb Group of Insurance Companies has formed an alliance with the Council on International Nontheatrical Events (CINE) to support student and emerging filmmakers.
As part of the alliance, Chubb established a scholarship for the 2007 and 2008 winners of the CINE Award of Excellence for the Student Division. The scholarship, which included a $1,500 cash award and $2,000 in legal fees to help defray the costs associated with rights clearance, was presented at CINE’s 2008 Awards Ceremony in Washington, D.C.
"Chubb's alliance with CINE and the student filmmaker scholarship help to demonstrate our deep commitment to the future of filmmaking" said Gene Williams, vice president of Chubb & Son and worldwide entertainment manager for Chubb Commercial Insurance. "The legal services are particularly useful, because film students are often so focused on the artistic side of making a film that they do not anticipate the potential legal pitfalls."
Chubb has been underwriting film productions for more than 40 years, including feature films, documentaries, television productions, commercials, music videos and educational films.
