Fallbrook Film Festival adds new category: Action

FALLBROOK – Organizers of the Fallbrook International Film Festival have added a new and exciting category to their 2013 festival: Action! The festival is welcoming filmmakers everywhere to submit their best action packed films for a chance to be featured in this category. For those filmmakers who pride themselves in classic action scenes, the festival welcomes their submissions; but for those who tend to be out-of-the-box type thinkers, the festival’s definition of action is very broad.

This new category was added not only because of the festival’s expansion, but also because of the action/stunt community’s past involvement. Both director David Ellis, who is known from everything from his stunts in “Scarface” and his second unit directing in “Master and Commander” along with legendary stunt director Dick Ziker, whose work can be seen in films such as “Die Hard” and second unit directing in “Charlie’s Angels,” have both been honored at the festival.

Rich Minga, who sits on the board of directors, is also an acclaimed stuntman and can be seen in everything from “Miami Vice” to “2 Fast 2 Furious.”

Various deadlines for all films types are rapidly approaching, with the late deadline extending through November. The festival will again be hosted at the beautiful UltraStar Cinemas in Bonsall, Calif. April 5, 6, and 7, 2013.
