Bring more independent and foreign films to North County! It has long been a goal of North County Film Club to bring fine independent and foreign films to North San Diego County. To achieve this goal, we must prove to film distributors that we have the audience to make this profitable to them. Here is what we will be sending out to those distributors:
We Want Independent Film! We, the undersigned, wish to make known our interest in and dedication to smaller independent and foreign films that are usually consigned to a mere handful of "art house" theaters. Should such films be offered at more conventional movie theaters that are located closer to where we live and work, such as Ultrastar’s Mission Marketplace 13 in Oceanside, California, we would buy tickets to see those films and encourage our friends, family, and neighbors to do so as well.
Please share this petition with anyone you know in North San Diego County whom you think might be interested in bringing excellent independent and foreign films to North San Diego County.

North County Film Club and UltraStar Theaters Present: "Company" The master of the Broadway Musical, Stephan Sondheim, is bringing a filmed version of his Tony award winning musical, "Company," to the UltraStar Mission Marketplace Theater in Oceanside this month. This performance features the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and an All-Star cast led by Neil Patrick Harris, Patti LuPone, Jon Cryer, Christina Hendricks, Craig Bierko, Martha Plimpton and Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert. The ticket price for viewing this performance live at the Philharmonic ranged from $100 to $300, but now you can purchase a ticket for $18. Better yet, North County Film Club members pay only $15. "Company" revolves around Bobby (Neil Patrick Harris), the five married couples who are his best friends, and his three girlfriends. It’s a concept musical composed of short vignettes, presented in no particular chronological order, linked by a celebration for Bobby's 35th birthday. It was nominated for 14 Tony Awards, winning six, including Best Musical, Book for Musical, Original Score, and Lyrics. One reviewer describes this 2011 production of "Company" as, " ...completely delightful. Almost all of the numbers excited and energized me, and most of the scenes were about as pitch-perfect as you can get. I just sat there with a big smile on my face the whole show." "Company" will be showing: Wednesday, June 15th at 7:30 PM Thursday, June 16th at 7:30 PM Sunday, June 19th at 2 PM Tuesday, June 21st at 7:30 PM. Posted May 19, 2011:

Special Film Showing: The Big Uneasy What: The Big Uneasy, a documentary by Harry Shearer When: Monday, August 30, 2010 Time: 7:00 pm (simulcast) Where: Mission Marketplace UltraStar Special Price: North County Film Club Members Pay $6.50 (the general public will pay $11.00) In his feature-length documentary, The Big Uneasy, humorist and New Orleans resident Harry Shearer gets the inside story of a disaster that could have been prevented. Shearer was able to interview the Army Corps of Engineers' New Orleans District Commander, Col. Robert Sinkler, but Sinkler ("love the name," Shearer joked) and other spokesmen are outnumbered in The Big Uneasy by critics and whistleblowers who called attention to the ACE's failings before and after Katrina. Actor John Goodman appears in the film to offer comic relief in a segment called "Ask a New Orleanian," where he poses questions asked by outsiders to local residents. Shearer wants The Big Uneasy to hit home with the estimated 43 percent of Americans who live in areas protected by levees. That includes a northern California delta that Sacramento and several fast-growing towns sit on. The ACE recently announced a 1.3-mile stretch of levee near St. Louis was leaking, and the government is spending $1 billion to fix a dike around Florida's Lake Okeechobee. Shearer is arranging to have The Big Uneasy simulcast in theaters nationwide, along with a live panel session. According to the article listed below, moviegoers will be able to pose questions to the panelists via Twitter.

Thank You All! The North County Film Club began its second film series July 11, 2010, at the Mission Market Place UltraStar Theater in Oceanside to great success. Our club has increased its membership from about 65 to over 110 paid members, and has sold over 105 Summer/Fall Season passes. This is exciting news for us. This growth in membership is largely due to word of mouth, and we wish to thank all of you for spreading the word about North County Film Club and the films we are showing. Building our audience is allowing us to obtain and show more recent films and possibly have some special event showings in the future. Thank you again for your help in building the North County Film Club. Sincerely, Sharlene Hamilton, NCFC Treasurer and North County Film Club Executive Board Posted July 5, 2010:
Reminder: Our next film is "The Joneses" on Sunday, July 11. If you are planning on buying your season pass at the theater, please look for the North County Film Club's table. Be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes early as we are expecting a crowd! Posted July 2, 2010:

Our Web Site Is Up and Running! The North County Film Club Board is proud to announce the launch of this, our Web site! We hope that you will take a look at the fantastic work of our outstanding volunteer Webmaster Mike Hungerford. You can now view the flier for this coming Summer/Fall line up of films and click on the movies' posters to see their IMDb pages with links to their trailers (this is also true for our previous flier and series). We will be adding to the Web site as time goes by, so we hope you will take advantage of this valuable new resource and refer your friends who might be interested. Summer/Fall Series Passes and Membership North County Film Club is pleased to report that, as of this posting, we has sold 62 passes for the Summer/Fall series and hope to surpass our goal of selling a minimum of 65 passes. Selling a minimum of 65 passes is important to us because at that point our terrific partner, UltraStar, will begin to turn a profit. They have been willing to take a chance on our group and you have come through. Thank you to all who have bought passes and memberships. It is because of you that North County Film Club can continue to bring fine independent, limited release, and foreign films to North San Diego County. Volunteers Needed There are many unfilled volunteer positions for which the North County Film Club Board is asking members to please step forward and offer their services. Please look over this list and see where you can help. 2. Outreach: Chairman to co-ordinate with the committee distribution of fliers and information to various places such as Senior Centers, Oceana, colleges, community centers, mobile home parks, clubs, and anywhere else we may reach people to inform them of our group and films. 3. Presentation Organizer: This person will contact groups and arrange for a person from North County Film Club to make a presentation to the community group. 4. Secretary: This person will take notes at Board meetings, then prepare and distribute those notes via e-mail to all Board members. Meeting times and days are flexible. Tax-Exemption (Non-Profit) Status North County Film Club now has 66 paid members which gives us a fund of $660. Our club is planning on applying for tax-exempt status which will cost $400 for the Federal exemption. We are still unsure of the amount that would have to be paid for California State exemption, but we now have some funds to do this. A tax-exempt status will enable North County Film Club to pursue a broader scope of activities and partnerships. For example, we cannot post advertisements at the library unless we are a registered non-profit. North County Film Club Board members Millie Gordon and Jim Hamilton are working on this project. If you or someone you know is familiar with this application process, has legal or legal assistance experience, and is willing to help us on a voluntary basis, please contact us! Posted May 25, 2010: For our Summer-Fall 2010 series, North County Film Club is offering a special package: for $40 you will receive a pass for all six showings in the series, plus a North County Film Club membership card (a $10 value) which affords you a $1 discount from the Senior Rate ticket price (regardless of your age!) at the Mission Marketplace UltraStar theater; a free 24-oz popcorn at any UltraStar theater; and the right to vote on future North County Film Club film selections. This offer is only available directly from North County Film Club, not from UltraStar. Please Contact North County Film Club if you have any questions. This offer valid until further notice. Posted June 22, 2010:
This, the Web site of the North County Film Club, was launched, pending final approval of the Board. Feedback regarding the appearance and functionality of the site is always appreciated; please address any comments or concerns to the Webmaster, Mike Hungerford. |
