Living in Orange County, there is no lack of luster but when looking for a local Indy film club to join and experi-ence a common interest and love for foreign and independent films, there are not too many options. There are many different types of film fans who have a love for the film industry as well as the art of the completed film and the experience that it brings. Independent films are a rare breed.

There is a local Orange County Indy Film Club that organizes Meet-ups called The Orange County Film Meetup Club. This is a wonderful group of independent film lovers who meet regularly to see and discuss classic and independent films. Or-ange County and neighboring Long Beach as well as the movie indus-try’s hub, Los Angeles have a good many theaters dedicated to showing independent films. This group has a great leadership team comprised of 11 people who are responsible for organizing events and meet ups for the club.

The members of this club are open to new and fun ideas and have grown weary of the same old cookie-cutter Hollywood movies being produced today. The new and original stories told in the independent films are the cornerstone of what this group

is all about. Most of members enjoy the ability to discuss the high a low points of a film as well as film mak-ing process. Associating with those who have the same interests as one another makes for an excellent time. Many of the original members have so much knowledge to share with those who have just found their love of films.

The Orange County Film Meetup Club has been alive since its inception in 2006 and has hosted at least one

event each week since. This group visits university film festivals as well as theaters that host these types of films. The Newport Film Festival is a big event that is on their list of venues. The genres of films that this group generally includes in their meetups are comedy, horror films, dramas, biography, documentaries and other art films. Some of the members have created lifelong friendships and have learned so much. There are no

membership fees and the only cost is that of the film itself. This club can be joined easily by visiting the Meetups website and logging in and selecting to become a member of their club. They send notifications each week they are meeting and have a very regular schedule so it make it easy to plan for the events.

On a couple of cool, breezy after-noons, B lenhe im E q u i S p o r t s p r e -sented two stellar high performance events, the $50,000 Blenheim Spring III Grand Pr ix , p re -sented by Equine I n s u r a n c e , a n d this season’s first $10,000 USHJA In-ternational Hunter Derby, both on the International Grand Prix Field. Excit-ing twists and turns captivated competi-tors and spectators alike.

With grand prix p r i z e m o n e y i n -c reased by ove r 20% for week three o f t he B lenhe im Spring Series, inter-nationally renowned c o u r s e d e s i g n e r Leopoldo Palacios intentionally built a tough track. “From the three weeks this is the week with the most money. I needed it to be a touch harder than the other weeks. The field of riders is good, so I built a more difficult course.”

Thirty-nine pairs attempted to master the t ight t ime allowed, distance and scope challenges, including a flowing first l ine, a bending line from three to a light skinny plank jump as the fourth obstacle followed by a triple com-binat ion set at a tough angle directly off the arena fence. Lines got tighter towards the end of the course, making the time allowed a factor. This technicality caught up with three riders who had no jumps down but finished with time faults.

Palacios explained, “My way of building and what I want doesn’t al-ways happen (he laughs). A course is not one distance; it’s a flow and a lot of distances together. From one to two, already the distance is a little bit forward. But I put this forward so they make decision to add or go forward. At the end I have short distances. I change the mind of the horse several times and this is where they have faults.”

It wasn’t until the fourteenth horse on course, 21-year-old Saer Coulter and Springtime (Coperni-cus Stables LLC, owner), did a duo

keep all jumps in the cups within the time allowed. Having ridden her Don VHP Z earlier in the class with just four faults, Coulter knew what she needed to do. Five rounds after Coulter, Enrique Gonzales of Mexico matched that effort going clean aboard his own Criptonite. Twelve rides later, with only six remaining, two more managed to join the jump-off group - Canadian John Pearce on the trusty Chianto (Forest View Farm, owner) and young Lucy Davis riding Old Oak Farm’s Barron.

Two young women and two experienced men in a jump-off with long galloping lines meant speed and agility would prevail. Admirably, each of the four was double clear with solid times. First to go Coulter and Springtime set the pace in an impressive 40.44. Next in Gonzales and the powerful Criptonite tried to catch Coulter, but didn’t quite succeed with a time of 41.16. Edging out Coulter, John Pearce and Chianto clocked in at 38.62. Last to go was Davis on Barron, also double clean in 40.80, just tenths of a second slower than Coulter. Veterans Pearce and Chianto claimed victory.

“The horse just seems to be

getting better. He’s 17 years old, but l ike wine, he’s just getting better with age,” said Pearce with a smile. Now in his sixth season riding Chianto, the winner went on about his horse, “He really likes himself a lot. He wants to act like the tough guy but he’s actually kind of mushy inside.”

Three couples turned in great rounds but stopped the clock just over the 85-second time al-lowed for two time faults apiece - Jonathan Asselin with Attache Stables’ Showgirl, Josephina Nor-Lantzman on her own Chello Z and Saree Solanki aboard Olympiade des Gres (Tomboy Farms, owner).

Seven horse and rider combi-nations finished with a four fault score in round one, the fastest five of those finished eighth through twelfth, including Coulter’s third entry Carmena Z, two entries from Signe Ostby’s string - Quanto Fino 2 with Eric Navet and Karl Cook aboard ASB Conquistador, Grey Fox Farm’s Bristol and Rusty Stew-art as well as Tiffany Sullivan with Tristan (Haley Farms LLC, owner).

On Friday, Joe Lombardo’s der-by course offered long flowing lines with several options giving the four esteemed judges, Joey Darby and

Brian Lenehan along with Tucker Ericson and Penny Carpenter, a chance to carefully study the twenty-seven derby r ides and twelve handy rounds. First round standouts included Jamie Taylor on Jennifer Stillman’s Queen Latifa, earning an 89 / 88, Jenny Karizis-sis riding Harriet Posner’s Victory Road with an 86 / 84 and Nick Haness on Pam Stewart’s Captiva ranking high with an 85.5 / 85.

As we often see in the Handy Round, spooks, stops and mishaps can change placings. The victory gallop was ridden by Haness but aboard Conor Perrin’s Gelato, who was superb in the handy after fin-ishing fifth in round one. The pair barely beat Karizissis on Victory Road. Hap Hansen and Shelly Lachow’s Anomaly leapt up to third place after earning solid handy scores.

Blenheim EquiSports moves the high performance action to Del Mar in May with the Ranch & Coast Classic, featuring another $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby and the $60,000 Grand Prix of California, both on the gorgeous grand prix field.

I’ve had a wonderful time, but this wasn’t it.- Groucho Marx

The Transportation Corridor Agen-cies (TCA) today announced that its Boards of Directors have approved a contract engaging TransCore (a unit of Roper Industries, NYSE: ROP) for the All Electronic Toll Collection & Revenue Management System for State Routes 73, 133, 241 and 261. Under the terms of the contract Trans-Core will design, supply, install, oper-ate and administer new toll collection equipment and systems. The value of the contract is approximately $36.4 million and also includes 10 years of system operations and maintenance.

In 2010, TCA began studying the possibility of converting The Toll Roads to all electronic tolling (AET). With AET, the need to stop and pay at toll booths is eliminated, giving all drivers the experience of non-stop driving and more time savings. In 2012, the implementation of AET was approved with deployment scheduled for spring of 2014. Converting to AET will reduce TCA’s total cost of opera-tions, increase net revenue and offer new customer service options.

TCA’s contract with TransCore is a major milestone in converting The Toll Roads to AET. TransCore has been supporting the transportation industry for more than 75 years, providing traf-fic management systems, intelligent transportation systems, systems integration, design consulting, opera-tions, maintenance, radio frequency identification manufacturing and ex-tensive web-based logistics systems. They also implemented the nation’s

first electronic toll collection system.

“The To l l Roads have operated with t h e s a m e basic tolling t e c h n o l o g y since the first toll road seg-ment opened in 1993,” said Jim Gallagher, TCA’s chief toll operations officer. “While the current technology is functional and well maintained, toll-ing technology has progressed and the agencies’ equipment continues to age. It’s time to upgrade our systems and technology and we are eager to move forward with TransCore as one of our key partners as we convert to AET.”

Already, 81 percent of drivers on The Toll Roads pay electronically us-ing FasTrak®. For FasTrak drivers, the conversion to AET will be seam-less -- they won’t have to make any changes to their account or drive. For the 16 percent of Toll Roads drivers who currently pay with cash, there will be a variety of new payment methods designed to reflect their preferences. While one method of payment (cash) will be eliminated, several new, convenient ways to pay will be introduced – including cash payment network options for cash-

preferred customers. The Toll Roads will be cashless by mid to late 2014. In preparation, customers can sign up for FasTrak now or will be able to sign up for one of the new account types in early 2014.

The Transportation Corridor Agen-cies (TCA) are two joint powers authorities formed by the California legislature in 1986 to plan, finance, construct and operate Orange Coun-ty’s 67-mile public toll road system. Fifty-one miles of the system are complete, including the 73, 133, 241 and 261 Toll Roads. Elected officials from surrounding cities and county supervisorial districts are appointed to serve on each agency’s board of directors. Public oversight ensures that the interests of local communi-ties and drivers are served and that TCA continues to meet the region’s growing need for congestion-free transportation alternatives.

by David AmodtSouthern Cal i fornia and the

movie/film industry are a staple, and south of Los Angeles, in Orange County rests a special film society and film club. The name of this group is the Orange County Film Society and this non profit group seeks to continue the work of inde-pendent films in Orange County and Southern California. By promoting films with advanced screenings, conversations with directors and producers, the Orange County Film Society is able to build a list of grow-ing film makers to their group.

The Orange County Film Society works closely with the Newport Beach Film Festival which is held yearly in Newport Beach, Califor-nia. The society works with festival to bring a number of local films to the festival as well as ones to bring crowds to the showings. The New-port Beach Film Festival in its own has started from a local festival with showings from local filmmakers to now showing premiere films with A list stars and red carpet showings.

The Orange County Film Society offers its members a number of advance screenings to small and

large films during the year. In addi-tion, the society offers members a number of tickets to the film festival so they can see the multitude of films which are hosted at movie theatres across Orange County. In addition to these benefits, spe-cial benefits and events are held throughout the year and members are given opportunities to expand their film knowledge and advance-ment with these events. Local film-makers, directors, and producers are past of the society and they are able to share experiences and developments with the group. The

society is also social media savvy with Facebook and Twitter pages to update its members with the lat-est events. Recent movies such as “True Grit” and “Casino Jack” have been screened for its members as well.

If you are a film lover and look-ing for a movie club within Orange County and don’t want to drive to Hollywood, be sure to check out the Orange County Film Society. It’s well worth the membership and the benefits are truly cinematic.

local dentist dr. michael tessier discusses Sleep problems.

While local dentist Dr. Michael Tessier is well known for his exceptionally gentle and friendly care of children, cosmetic restorations for adults, and both conventional and Invisalign orthodontics, his offi ce also focuses on his patients overall health. “I read an article the other day that said, in effect, sleep could be hazardous to your health. They were referring to sleep apnea, the cessation of breathing while sleeping. I was especially interested in this topic as my offi ce provides signifi cant relief for people who suffer from this particular discomfort,” said Dr. Tessier.“Sleep apnea can be caused by extra redundant tissue (fat) in the throat or neck which can reduce the diameter of or even cut-off the windpipe while one is in a re-laxed sleep-state. It can also be caused by the lower jaw relaxing back into the neck, allowing the base of the tongue to lie on the windpipe, like a manhole cover, cutting off the air fl ow to the lungs. This causes the body to wake up enough to take a deep breath. These wake-ups are often gasps for air, and may even include sitting bolt-upright in bed, in a panic. Either of these restrictions can happen as many as forty-fi ve times a minute (yes, a minute) preventing deep, replenishing sleep, and causing a dramatic reduction in the amount of oxygen that gets into the blood stream. This oxygen reduction negatively impacts the brain, and is damaging or stressful to the heart muscle, and may be fatal in some cases.“Just the other day, I had a conversation with a clinical psychologist about the nega-tive results of sleep deprivation, like from sleep apnea, or just plain too-few hours of sack-time. She said that the biggest issue is the replenishment of neuro–transmit-ters (chemicals in nerve connections ((synapses)) like serotonin, acetylcholine, or dopamine) that could, among other things, lead to depression. The conversation went to medicinal sleep aids, like Temazepam or Ambien. I asked if taking drugs like that would be habit forming on a long-term basis. The doctor was of the opinion that the negatives from sleep deprivation were worse than the negatives from long-term use of drugs.“An easier solution than drugs is often to use one of our sleep apnea appliances, which are simple, unobtrusive in-the-mouth appliances that keep the jaw forward and the base of the tongue off the windpipe (trachea). In more severe cases, use of a CPAP device, a positive-pressure air pump that keeps the windpipe open, might be indicated,” said Dr. Tessier.So, if you or the person sleeping next to you or your next-door neighbor is snoring loudly or waking-up gasping for air, a call to Dr. Tessier’s Offi ce for a complimentary consultation appointment may be in order. Dr. Michael Tessier’s offi ce is located at 28562 Oso Parkway at the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways in the retail center near the carwash and Starbucks. The telephone number is 949-459-7212.

the artSMembers of the Carmen, Center Stage and Stage Door Chapters of The

Guilds of Segerstrom Center for the Arts and their guests gathered at the Duck Club in Irvine for a rousing Western BBQ Fundraiser in support of Segerstrom Center for the Arts. The event raised $4,000 for the Center to support the Center’s artistic and education programs.

Guests were entertained with Country Western music by The Cal Boys and gathered on the dance floor for some authentic line dancing. Ranch Hands BBQ provided a spectacular buffet of Mesquite Barbecued Tri Tip Steak and BBQ chicken served with enticing traditional side dishes. The tables were decorated with gingham and unique centerpieces consisting of miniature buckets and wheelbarrows planted with succulents.

A silent auction offered Wine Tastings for 20, and Golf Video Lessons for Four and raffle items included Massages, Harbor Cruises, a Gift Basket from Trader Joe’s and more. One particular table of Carmen Chapter members turned out to be extremely lucky, winning the majority of the raffle items! There was a lot of happy screaming!

Special guests were introduced including: Dr. Dianne Howe, Director of Support Groups for Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Marilyn McCorkle, Chair-man of The Guilds and several members of The Guilds Board of Directors. Committee members who planned and organized the event included Diana Hardy, Area Chairman and Chair of the event with her committee: Louise Costa, Ed Cady, Gail Daniels, Carol Hunter, Sally Kennedy, Jane King, Mar-cella Pranovia, Tony Schloss, and Margaret Ann Vincent.

The Guilds of Segerstrom Center for the Arts is one of the largest and most prestigious support groups for a non-profit organization in Orange County. The Guilds, which is comprised of 24 chapters and nearly 2,000 members, is respected and admired for its contributions to Segerstrom Center for the Arts and is emulated by many other arts organizations around the country. Guilds members are Center ambassadors, spreading the word about the Center among their friends and neighbors and encouraging them to enjoy and use this great community resource.

The Guilds raises funds for the Center, Orange County’s largest non-profit arts organization. Guilds members have contributed more than $14 million dollars in support of the Center since their organization was founded. Their support helps the Center to present its renowned performing arts series, which includes dance, Broadway shows, cabaret, jazz, classical music, family entertainment, cutting-edge theater and many free and low cost performances and events. Close to the heart of The Guilds is the Center’s education programs that reach hundreds of thousands of young people and educators each year with performances and arts-in-education programs at the Center and on school campuses.

Segerstrom Center for the Arts, previously called the Orange County Per-forming Arts Center, traces its roots back to the late 1960s when a dedicated group of community leaders decided Orange County should have its own world-class performing arts venue.

As Orange County’s largest non-profit arts organization, Segerstrom Center for the Arts owns and operates the 3,000-seat Segerstrom Hall and intimate 250-seat Founders Hall, which opened in 1986, and the 2,000-seat Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, which opened in 2006 and also houses the 500-seat Samueli Theater, the Lawrence and Kristina Dodge Education Center’s studio performance space and Boeing Education Lab. A spacious arts plaza anchors Segerstrom Center for the Arts and is home to numerous free performances throughout the year as part of Segerstrom Center for the Arts’ ongoing Free for All series.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Plac-ing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mort-gagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-12-532049-JB . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

gettIng Started wIth SubmIttIng tO FIlm FeStIvalSthe FirSt-time FilmmAker’S Friendly FeSt FACtS

by A. BertocciCongratulations. You made a

movie. Now the hard part begins. Ev-eryone dreams of getting their picture noticed at a film festival and starting a Hollywood career. But the film festival circuit is more overcrowded every year, and with the sheer number of fests out there it’s hard to muddle through and find the right festival for your film.

Let’s assume your movie’s all ready to go; tight edit, final sound mix, copy-rights cleared, all that. Festival time. Now what?

(1) Count the money.Assume that you’re going to apply

to about forty fests at around $25 apiece. Forty seem like a big number? Just remember you’re not going to get into all of them. Get used to the concept of sunk costs here. With every check you write, tell yourself that nothing may come of it. It’s all part of the fun.

(2) Load up on supplies.The basics are clear. Padded

envelopes are your friend. The kind with bubble wrap inside, not fiber. No one wants to open a disgusting, crud-filled envelope. You’ll also need blank DVDs and nice cases to put them in, the convenient kind that snap shut, not the cheap jewel cases that break if you touch them too firmly. You don’t have to get the fanciest cover or label art around, but if you’ve got something nice, so much the better.

(3) Boy Scout motto: Be prepared.There are a few things you may not

need to apply to a festival, but you’ll need upon acceptance. Are you going to apply to festivals that will require a BetaSP tape-or an HD tape or film print-of your movie? Then you’d bet-ter be able to get one made! Do you have good production stills on hand? A press kit? How about a slick poster? Don’t be caught empty-handed!

Ideally, you budgeted for all this be-fore production began; festivals aren’t cheap. You may want to start gearing towards fests with cash prizes.

(4) Figure out what your film is.A feature-length comedy and a

short drama are suited for two very different kinds of showcases. Some festivals like realistic, traditional sub-ject matter, others lean more avant-garde. Moreover, there are special opportunities for films showcasing minority issues or specific subjects, or from first-time directors, or student

projects… figure out how your film’s genre, length, history, target audience and all these other tangibles (and intangibles) help it fit (or not!) into a festival program.

(5) And at long last… find festivals.The Internet has made it easier

than ever to get confused by long lists of events you’ve never heard of. The hot site is Withoutabox, which keeps organized listings for you, processes credit card payments, sends out e-mails and in general serves as a hub for film festival news and trends. Signing up for a paid membership even gets you discounts on festival application fees. (And don’t miss out on their message board for friendly tips and support.)

But Withoutabox tends not to list the most prestigious or the most fledgling tiers, and even in their range they aren’t partnered with everyone, so keep snooping. FilmFestivals.com keeps their listings organized by month, and Chris Gore’s “Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide” is wor-thy of its status as a must-have book for all interested in tackling the festival circuit, even if only as an audience member. Gore doesn’t just list fests, he tells you how to make the most of your festival experience, which goes somewhat outside the scope of this article but is nonetheless important.

(6) Judge film festivals before they judge your film.

Before you apply, look over each festival’s Web site. Does it look pro-fessional? Is it the kind of organization you’d like to be affiliated with? Then check out their previous schedules. What sorts of films have they taken in the past? Were they like your movie? Are you a good fit there? Looking for festivals for your film is like looking for colleges for your kid, there’s a lot of great options (and not-so-great), but ultimately you’re looking for the right individual fit.

(7) … and recognized when you’re judged in advance.

It’s nice to be proud of your movie, but let’s face it, if you’re a first-time filmmaker who shot something on a whim one weekend with your friends, you may not do well at a festival whose ‘independent shorts’ program features Hollywood celebrities. The film festival circuit is no longer quite the haven for revolutionary, indepen-dent work it used to be. Find your niche.

(8) The natural order of things.Some festivals want your film to be

a US premiere, or at least a premiere in that state. You’ll need to hit those up first. Similarly, you’ll want to hit the first tier of prestige in your festivals list before tackling the smaller, regional fests; Sundance needs your attention before something out in Maine.

(9) Talk to people, talk to yourself.What are other filmmakers doing?

What’s their thought process when submitting? What have their experi-ences been in going to festivals? Sometimes it’s good to just talk to people and hear what they think and recommend. Similarly, evaluate your

own process. Are you submitting someplace for good reason, or just because it’s there?

(10) You will get rejected.And rejected. And rejected again.

It happens to everyone, including the people with awards on their wall. Rest assured, it does get easier (emotion-ally, not financially).

The more research you do and the more understanding you get of the process, the more streamlined your film festival submissions will be. Good luck; see you at the movies!
