The most important thing I've learned about being a filmmaker in Sacramento is that the CFAA has your back. I'm just getting started with my journey, but at every turn, CFAA has been there with information, connections, and most importantly, encouragement.
I highly recommend you join so you don't get left behind. Thanks, CFAA!

Coming Up:

You Are Invited to a
Special IN-PERSON (outdoor)
movie screening
of 'First Date'
Thurs., June 16th at 7pm
at The Crocker Art Museum

Hosted by Laurie Pederson of the CFAA - for the Crocker Art Museum's Movies Off The Wall program, featuring Q&A with the filmmakers Manuel Crosby and Brandon Kraus.

Register here

The Crocker Art Museum’s Movies Off the Wall series returns this summer! Inspired by Wayne Thiebaud: A Celebration, 1920-2021, the series explores the Sacramento region through a quirky mixture of films featuring local filmmakers, actors, and locations. Movies are screened en plein air in the Museum’s outdoor courtyard against the Teel Family Pavilion’s iconic architecture. Arrive early for trivia, giveaways, and film-related activities. Courtyard opens at 7 pm, film starts at sundown.

Writer/Directors Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp make their directorial debut with First Date, a teen romance meets Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez mashup about a first date gone horribly wrong. Gratuitous violence, off the wall humor, and an inordinate number of plot twists characterize the blossoming, albeit brief, relationship of Mike (Tyson Brown) and Kelsey (Shelby Duclos). For First Date, Crosby and Knapp, filmmakers with ties to Calaveras County, brought together a cast of over 20 main characters, all of whom were cast from the Sacramento and Mother Lode regions, and the film’s setting is a fantasized version of Valley Springs with locations in Amador County, Angels Camp and Valley Springs itself serving as a backdrop to the gonzo action. First Date premiered at Sundance in 2021.

'First Date' is presented by Laurie Pederson,
President of Sacramento’s Capital Film Arts Alliance.
