Show C4 The Emery County Review, Tuesday, September 2, 2008 EVENTS Huntington Huntington Film Festival Returns in October Casey Wood Star Theatre has big plans for this October with their Second Annual Huntington Film Festival, which will be held Oct. 10. With the help of Dean Lehwalder of Huntington, Janice and Percy Mounteer, also of Huntington, are hoping to make this festival, and future festivals, a fun and appropriate way for local amateur filmmakers to spend their time and express themselves, as well as a place where fans of independent film can come to see what is developing in the minds of local filmmakers. Submissions will be due to the Star Theatre by Sept. 30. After being submitted the films will be reviewed, and if deemed appropriate, added to the schedule of the festival. The organizers have created guidelines which must be followed for a film to be featured at the festival. The main guideline rests upon the film’s rating. The festival is meant to be a family friendly activity and therefore organizers ask that before submitting your film you go to MPAA.org and check that your film would receive no higher than a PG rating, with a preference for G-rated, therefore outlawing harsh language and explicit subject matter. It is preferred that the submissions are around 10 minutes or less, allowing those who attend the festival to see many different films. Lehwalder hopes to receive many different genres of film, from comedy, to drama, to action, to documentary, and everything in between. On the night of the festival the attendees will be asked to vote for their favorite local film. The three films with the most votes will be awarded first, second, and third places. First place will receive $100, second place will receive $50, and third place will receive $25. Mounteer hinted that ‘special additions’ would be given to winners as well. Anyone looking to be involved, whether as a sponsor, an attendee, or a filmmaker is encouraged to do so. The event is sure to be a fun time, so mark your calendars and get ready to have an experience like never before. For more information call the Star Theatre at 687-7827. Mammoth Marathon Offers Unique Running Experience The Mammoth Marathon will weave through the San Rafael Swell as runners converge Sept. 13 for a full or half marathon. Beginning at Huntington State Park, marathon runners will be bussed to the start of the race. The marathon starts at 6:30 a.m. and the half marathon starts at 7:15 a.m. Due to this exclusive location and the mul- tiple Paleontological and Archeological vista’s, this is the only run of its kind. This is a limited run and is not for runners that enjoy running in large crowds and in great cities; this is for the scenic-runner who enjoys the tranquility and beauty of running in nature. Marathon Course The course begins at 5,650 feet and only has about 235 feet of climb in the first four miles. The remaining course is fairly flat with a slight decline until you hit the mouth of BuckHorn Wash (about 16 miles from the start). The remaining course descends about 547 feet over the next 10 miles. This is a great decline because it doesn’t put unnecessary strain on your joints by being too steep. Half Marathon Course This is primarily a flat /downhill half-marathon with only gently rolling hills. The beginning of the run starts at an elevation of 5656 feet and descends to an elevation of 5100 feet, so it will not put unnecessary strain on joints. There is only one access road through the canyon, but it is fairly compacted. Awards Each person to complete the race will receive a custom medallion. Cash and special awards given to the top 3 men’s and women’s overall finishers. Packet Pick-up/ Starting Times The packet pickup will be the evening of Sept. 12 at the CEU Prehistoric Mu- seum in Price. Race packets can also be picked up the morning of the race from 5 - 6 at Huntington State Park. Fees are $65 for the marathon, $55 for the half marathon and $45 for the 10K.
