TONIGHT JUNE 17 NYC SCREENING OF OHIO INDEPENDENT FILM "NORTH
BEACH"

For Immediate Release: June 17, 2002

Contact: Annetta Marion or Bernadette Gillota, Co-Artistic and
Executive Directors of the OIFF, (216) 651-7315

In conjunction with the Ohio Independent Film Festival's on-going
partnership with the Reel Roundtable in New York City, we are proud
to announce the screening of NORTH BEACH tonight 7:30p June 17 at the
Reel Roundtable Film Medley at 116 West Houston Street in New York
City, between Sullivan & Thompson Streets.

One guy, one girl, one stripper, 23 beers, 37 cigarettes. One big
mistake and one last chance to win her back. NORTH BEACH, a
romantic comedy set in the hip North Beach neighborhood of San
Francisco, was a festival favorite at the 2000 Ohio Independent Film
Festival & Market. Filmcritic.com says of NORTH BEACH "… has
the rare panache required to pull it off… provides just the
right combination of multidimensional characters, witty dialogue, and
insanity to make (it work)."

The Reel Roundtable (connect: create: contribute) was developed to
integrate and unify various talent in the independent film industry.
The OIFF is the leading film organization in Ohio dedicated to
freedom of expression through the art of independent media; it is the
part we play in the larger struggle for social justice and equality.

your film, video, and/or screenplay to the Ohio Independent Film
Festival (late deadline is July 1).
