ACTIONFEST 2010

In early February we met with Bill Banowsky of Carolina Cinemas who had an idea of putting together a film festival for action films, less than 4 months later we had organized the festival, created all the marketing materials such as the trailer above, logo, program guide, passes, poster, TV spots, beer label and just about every piece of swag that went along with the festival.  

We coordinated with city officials regarding the Rocketman flying his jetpack at Memorial Stadium for a Tourists game to stuntmen jumping out of planes, lighting themselves on fire, jumping from cherry pickers in the Carolina Cinemas Parking lot. There was seriously nothing we couldnt accomplish and make happen that weekend. The festival rolled through town like napalm consuming everything in its wake dazzling hundreds of people with the stuntshow, entertaining even more with action packed movies and filled the Orange Peel with stargawkers.

This multiday weekend festival culminated into an awards ceremony held at the Orange Peel honoring stuntmen for their acheivements with special guest of the night Chuck Norris to be honored with the first Lifetime Acheivement award. The award was short lived as Chuck re-awarded it to his brother and long time stuntman extraordinairre Aaron Norris.
