Baby Boomerang was well received by those in attendance at the British Film Festival in LA, but perhaps the biggest thing to emerge from the festival was an invitation to screen Baby Boomerang at the International Christian Film Festival in Wales, United Kingdom August 4-8, 2009.  “Looks like were going back to Europe,” Mark says with a big smile.

Baby Boomerang was chosen for the International Christian Film Festival because of its ties to the British Film Festival in LA. 

At the British Film Festival Mark and Camille became friends with one of the directors of the International Christian Film Festival, Kelvin Guy who came to the screening of Baby Boomerang in LA.  “The best part of attending any film festival is the interesting people you meet, and the British Film Festival certainly delivered,” Mark recalls. 

Mark & Camille met Kelvin and his wife Judith while attending the filmmakers’ reception at the Custom Hotel before the screening of Baby Boomerang.  Kelvin came from Wales to screen his own documentary “In Search of Gareth Hughes.”  Gareth Hughes was a distant relative of Kelvin’s who left Wales and became a silent film star in Hollywood.  After completing 45 films, Gareth left Hollywood and became a minister to the Paiute Indians in Nevada for 14 years. 

Calvin is taking his documentary to the Paiute tribe next week for a special screening.  A trailer of Calvin’s documentary can be found at the International Christian Film Festival’s website.

“We always meet such interesting and pleasant people at film festivals,” Mark concludes.  “I’m looking forward to the next festival.” 

By the way, the next festival is Gone With the Film Festival, May 16, 2009 in Hollywood.
