THE GEORGIA FILM, MUSIC & DIGITAL ENTERTAINMENT OFFICE IS PROUD TO SPONSOR THE 2010 SAVANNAH FILM FESTIVAL
American filmmaker James Foley was born in Brooklyn and raised in Staten Island, New York. The strength of his student films at USC led to early mentoring by Hal Ashby and later Scott Rudin, leading to his first film project, Reckless (1984). Since then, Foley has worked to avoid what he calls "ghettoization" of his filmmaking style, straddling as many different genres, tones and moods as he can and working with as wide a range of acting talents as possible. The result has been a career that combines the fierce independence of the personal art film with the exciting finesse of mainstream entertainment. Throughout his career, the complexities of his films have drawn the best and brightest actors ranging from Gene Hackman and Al Pacino to Sean Penn and Kevin Spacey. Foley has directed such notable and critically acclaimed films as At Close Range; Who's that Girl?, starring Madonna; After Dark, My Sweet; the Pulitzer Prize winning Glengarry Glen Ross; the Depressionera family drama Two Bits; the John Grisham novel-based film The Chamber as well as Fear and The Corruptor, both with Mark Wahlberg; Confidence; and Perfect Stranger. Foley has also delved into television, directing episodes of Twin Peaks and Gun. He is currently preparing Mary, Mother of Christ.

Ian McKellen has been honored with more than 40 international awards for his performances on screen and stage. He was born in 1939 and raised in the north of England. He started acting professionally in 1961. His youthful performances as Shakespeare's Richard II and Marlowe's Edward II stormed the 1969 Edinburgh Festival, played two seasons in London, toured Europe and were televised. In pursuit of the ideal theatre ensemble, he was a founder-member of the touring Actors' Company. As leading man for the Royal Shakespeare Company, he has played Macbeth (with Judi Dench), Iago and King Lear, now all DVD classics. He has starred in a score of modern plays in London, many for the National Theatre under its first director, Laurence Olivier, and his successors. Most recently at the NT, he was Stockmann in Enemy of the People and Captain Hook in Peter Pan. He recently played Estragon in Waiting for Godot in London and on tour. He has worked extensively in television e.g. Stephen Frears' Walter, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Rasputin, Cold Comfort Farm, and in 2005 fulfilled his ambition to act in Coronation Street, the longest-running television soap.

Liam Neeson has become one of the leading international motion picture actors today. Whether it is his Academy Award-nominated role of Oskar Schindler in Steven Spielberg's highly acclaimed Schindler's List (1993), his award-winning portrayal of a legendary Irish Republican hero in Michael Collins (1996), or his role as controversial sex therapist Alfred Kinsey in the critically acclaimed Kinsey (2004), Neeson continues to display an acting range matched by few. The Irish-born actor originally sought a career as a teacher after attending Queen's University Belfast and majoring in physics, computer science and math. Neeson set teaching aside and in 1976 joined the prestigious Lyric Players Theatre in Belfast ("The best training any actor could have"), making his professional acting debut in Joseph Plunkett's The Risen People. After two years with the Lyric Players, he joined the famed National Theatre of Ireland, the Abbey Theatre in Dublin. In 1980, John Boorman spotted him playing Lennie in John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men and cast him in the epic saga of the Arthurian legend, Excalibur. Following this motion picture debut, Neeson appeared in more than 40 films demonstrating a wide range of characters, including Dino De Laurentiis' epic remake of The Bounty (1984),

I ISABELLA ROSSELLIN
Isabella Fiorella Elettra Giovanna Rossellini was born in Rome and lived her early years in Rome, Santa Marinella, and Paris. She came to New York at the age of 19 to study English and attend Finch College. During this early period she appeared intermittently on Roberto Benigni's Italian comedy show, The Other Sunday. She holds dual United States and Italian citizenship and is the daughter of the Academy Award-winning Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman (Casablanca, Anastasia, Autumn Sonata) and the groundbreaking, iconic Italian film director Robert Rossellini, who made film history with Rome, Open City. Now a cinematic icon, Ms. Rossellini's debut as a filmmaker was her mischievous and witty film My Dad is 100 Years Old, a pretend dialogue about the essence of film. Her career includes roles in over 40 movies (Blue Velvet, Death Becomes Her, The Saddest Music in the World, Infamous), as well as television (Alias, Discovery Atlas: Italy Revealed, Iconoclasts, 30 Rock), and stage productions, an illustrious international modeling career (as the face of Lancme for 14 years), development of her own cosmetics line, authorship of several books, philanthropy, wildlife activism, and dedicated trainer of Labrador puppies for the blind.

I ISABELLA ROSSELLIN
In 2008 Robert Redford's Sundance Institute commissioned Ms. Rossellini to make a series of short films to address the issues of the environment. She chose the mating habits of bugs and called her series Green Porno, which has been celebrated in film festivals here and abroad. She won the Webby Award for "Best Individual Performance" for Green Porno. For the second series, which involves sea creatures, she took courses in biology at New York University. The third season of Green Porno features marine life and sea creatures. In addition to the shorts on the Sundance Channel, in the fall of 2009, a book of Green Porno was released which included all three seasons of the shorts. On the heels of the great success of Green Porno, Ms. Rossellini has partnered up with Sundance again for a new series about animal courtship called Seduce Me. The first five short films became available on video on demand in Spring 2010; the second five will be released in November 2010. Ms. Rossellini recently wrapped production on French director Julie Gavras' romantic comedy, Late Bloomers, opposite William Hurt. Rossellini and Hurt play a couple who react to their senior status in different ways. The film will be released in 2011.
Newcomer Miles Teller has the distinct honor and privilege of making his feature screen debut opposite Nicole Kidman in the film Rabbit Hole based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play that received multiple 2006 Tony Award nominations and a Best Actress win for Cynthia Nixon. In this much-anticipated tragic family drama, directed by John Cameron Mitchell, Teller plays Jason Willette, a bit of a loner teen who escapes into a world of comic books and science fiction. Teller was born in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, and moved with his family to Citrus County, Florida, when he was 12 years old. He found representation in his junior year when his now manager spotted Teller in a class workshop and was impressed by his performance. In his senior year, he booked a guest star role on The Unusuals and two weeks before graduation he landed the co-starring role in Rabbit Hole. This was the ultimate graduation present. Teller now makes his home in Los Angeles.

Bobby Zarem parlayed his childhood fascination with Hollywood and Broadway into a career as the most important and most famous press agent in American history. In his early years with the firm Rogers & Cowan, Zarem redefined the way publicists work with the press. In 1974, Zarem went out on his own and formed Zarem Inc. His promotion of Ken Russell's iconic Tommy included a wildly successful premiere party in a New York City subway stationan event that garnered worldwide press. Zarem promoted movies with enduring impacts on American culture: Saturday Night Fever, Pumping Iron, Rambo, Scarface, The China Syndrome, Dances with Wolves and Peewee's Big Adventure. His creation and promotion of the I Love New York" campaign revitalized New York City at a time when cultural and economic collapse seemed imminent. A larger than life presence on the Manhattan social scene, Zarem formed friendships and working relationships with key members of the press, major sports stars, national politicians and other cultural powerbrokers. Al Pacino played a character based on him in the 2002 movie People I Know. For the last decade, Zarem has lured major movies and stars to the Savannah Film Festival. In Spring 2010, he moved his base of operations from New York City to his childhood home in Savannah.
