World Premiere of PRESQUE ISLE at the Mill Valley Film Festival

The San Francisco School of Digital Filmmaking (SFSDF) announces the World Premiere of PRESQUE ISLE, its first feature film produced with production partner Fog City Pictures, which will take place on Oct. 5, 7:15 at the Cine Arts Sequoia Theatre in Mill Valley.
PRESQUE ISLE¹s writer/director, Rob Nilsson, enjoys a long association with the Mill Valley Film Festival. It began in 1979 when NORTHERN LIGHTS, which had just won the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, had its North American Premiere at Mill Valley.
Under the leadership of producers Jeremiah Birnbaum and James Savoca, principal photography took place over 4 weeks in the Santa Cruz Mountains. A dynamic team of Bay Area film professionals and SFSDF students slept on log cabin floors, cooked on campfires, fought off mosquitoes, dodged poison oak and made a unique collaborative film.
Mickey Freeman's haunting black and white cinematography is featured in the story of Danny Holmen, a man estranged from family and shattered by the breakup of a love affair, who returns to an abandoned cabin on an island in a remote Northern Wisconsin lake.
Assailed by dreams, flashbacks, hallucinations and visitations from the past, he tries to hold his life together as his memories threaten to pull it apart. As part of the schools' hands-on teaching approach, SFSDF offers its students the opportunity to crew on feature films and be mentored by film professionals.
Since PRESQUE ISLE wrapped, SFSDF and Fog City Pictures has produced
writer/director James Savoca's feature, AROUND JUNE, and is set to begin production on the upcoming film, MOONLIGHT SONATA, to be directed by Celik Kayalar.
A second showing of PRESQUE ISLE will take place at the Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Ctr., on Thursday, Oct. 11 at 9:15.
