The Lake Worth Playhouse Stonzek Theatre is now accepting submissions for its second annual L-Dub Film Festival (L-DUB) with a deadline of September 1, 2011. We are looking for an innovative selection across a variety of genres, from music videos to full length features. Our mission is to promote and foster an appreciation of the art of filmmaking and provide networking opportunities to germinate new creations. We are a festival by filmmakers, for filmmakers.

A FILMMAKER RECEPTION will be held next door to the Stonzek Theatre on Friday, September 16 at 8pm. This adjacent space will be a gathering place for filmmakers throughout the festival. We want to provide a unique opportunity for young and seasoned artists to socialize, network and interact with other local filmmakers in a relaxed environment that caters to fostering new relationships, establishing business connections, deal making, engaging in creative discussions and learning from other professionals in the industry.

A SPECIAL GUEST will be joining us for the 2011 L-Dub Film Festival. Garrett M. Brown is a successful actor with over 200 Film and TV credits spanning three decades. Since 1983, Garrett has been an active member of the Ensemble Studio Theatre in New York City. He moved to LA in 1991 and continued his work with Ensemble Studio Theatre, The LA Project (EST-LA), as an actor, writer, director and is currently the Chairman of the Board.  While working on the NBC series, SISTERS, he helped create the Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA) Youth Theatre, a theater program for at-risk kids in inner city LA. He also was instrumental in developing a Playwrights Unit for EST-LA, led by such writers as Jose Rivera, Neil Cuthbert, and Carole Real.

He has been privileged to work with and counsel such emerging actors and film-makers as Chris Pine, Diana Agron, Maya Lawson, Annika Marks, Graham Sibley, Greg Robbins, James Napoli, Dale Peterson, and Tim Attewell. Garrett Brown truly embodies the vibe of our festival and will be honored with our 2011 Community Spirit Award.
