Sacramento Public Library

Get Your Poe On!

1/14/2013
Sacramento Public Library has chosen the stories and poems of early 19th-century American author Edgar Allan Poe for its 2013 One Book Sacramento project - the community's biggest book club!
 
The Poe Project, cosponsored by the Capital Film Arts Alliance, invites local amateur filmmakers to create short films based on a Poe work or theme, which are no longer than 13 minutes.  Or, you may enter the full-length screenwriting competition of an adaptation of Poe's work.  
 
Entries are due in late summer 2013 and cash prizes will be awarded.
      
For more information about the compeition, please contact Mary Beth Barber at (916) 429-5105 or Laurie Pederson at (916) 600-6477 or by e-mail at info@capitalfilmarts.com.
 
In the coming months, the library will announce keynote speakers, The Poe Project contest details, and other One Book Sacramento partners and programs scheduled in October.
