Projected on a rooftop in Manhattan will be a scene from Moon Europa, one of ten outstanding narrative rough-cut film projects selected by the prestigious Independent Film Project, or IFP (www.ifp.org), for the 2007 Independent Film Lab. Moon Europa, written and directed by Chris Bower and produced by G. Craig Hobbs and Bower, was introduced at the Independent Film Lab several months ago and captured industry attention because of its environmental theme, its creative reliance on recycled, reused and salvaged materials in the sets and costumes to underscore the creative team's concern for the environment, and its innovative use of affordable, cutting-edge technologies. The guerilla, epic film is the outcome of a three-year effort involving approximately 150 volunteers from the Asheville, NC, media arts community. (PRWeb Sep 19, 2007)
