The Santa Clarita Valley Film Festival will feature a night of short family friendly films made by local filmmakers at 7 p.m. March 11. The program will include films from this past year's festival, animation by California Institute of the Arts Alumni and "Rachel's Fortune," a live action short film featuring Emma Allebrand, a local Santa Clarita 8-year old in her first film role.

"Rachel's Fortune" pulled from local Santa Clarita talent. It was written, directed and produced by film festival co-founders Ramon Hamilton and Jennifer Fischer. Local sound and theater guru Nanook did the sound mix on the film. Former College of the Canyons student and Santa Clarita Brad Hoffarth was the cinematographer for the film with Matthew Bowers, who also lives in Santa Clarita, also working on the project.

"Rachel's Fortune" was recently selected for the San Francisco International Children's Film Festival.

The March 11th screening is part of the SCV Film Festival's ongoing Monthly Film Screening series, which provides local filmmakers with opportunities to show their work and to come together with an audience to enjoy quality independent films.

"The films that will be screened this month were chosen because they can be enjoyed by the whole family," explains Hamilton. "The message and story offer something positive. We're excited to feature a night of family friendly films."

The screening will be held at the Repertory East Playhouse located at 24266 San Fernando Road, Newhall. Admission is free; seating is limited.

The SCV Film Festival's first After-School Film and Video Workshops are in full swing. Students are learning to write, shoot, act, edit and score a film in this 10-week program. An animation workshop has been added.

The SCV Film Festival is currently accepting students for this added workshop open to youth ages 9-14. Call now to register your child for this special program. You can also learn more about all of the programs and events of the SCV Film Festival at www.scvfilmfestival.com.
