Rocketown to Host First Annual Faith and Film Motion Picture Festival August 20^th, 2007 from 4pm to 10pm CST

The Faith and Film Motion Picture Festival showcases the top finalists for the 2007 ‘Best of Fest’ award competition among other short films.

Nashville, TN,  August 13, 2007:  On Monday August, 20^th, 2007 from 4pm to 10pm CST, Rocketown located at 401 6^th Ave. South in Nashville, Tennessee will host the first annual Faith and Film Motion Picture Festival.

This year’s festival features The Clinton 12, a documentary film, narrated by award-winning actor James Earl Jones; about the first integration of a public high school in the south after the US Supreme Court decision Brown vs. the Board of Education. The title refers to the 12 black teenagers who, in the fall of 1956, were forced to attend the all white high school in Clinton, Tennessee. This story, which has gone untold for 50 years, shows the horrors of bigotry and racism in the Old South, as well as the courage of a community that fought to uphold the law.

Other films being featured this year include a feature length independent film, A Dance for Bethany, which tells the story of how one woman risks everything to help a sex trafficked victim out of the world of slavery and into a world with a future and a hope of fulfilling a childhood dream and A Cry from Iran, a documentary on Iranian Christian Martyrs. There will also be several short films and music videos shown.

Tickets to the six hour screening event are $10 and will be available at the door and online at www.faithandfilmfest.com. All proceeds from ticket sales are being donated to Rocketown, a non-profit youth outreach ministry.
