STATESBORO, Ga., Feb. 15, 2010 - JamesWorks Entertainment's The Car Wash, a new short film from award-winning documentary filmmaker James Kicklighter, starring Edith Ivey (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), will screen at the 2010 Garden State Film Festival in Asbury Park, NJ. The festival is a four day event that attracts nearly 30,000 visitors every year.
The Garden State Film Festival was born in 2002 after a chance encounter in a Sea Girt, NJ Grocery store by 25 year film industry veteran Diane Raver and the well known Hollywood actor Robert Pastorelli. Through his deep ties to Hollywood Mr. Pastorelli and Ms. Raver were able to bring the State of New Jersey an all encompassing event. It premiered in 2003 and was immediately deemed a huge success.
Since that time, such industry notables such as Glenn Close, Frank Vincent, Batman producer Michael Uslan, Austin Pendleton, Kurtwood Smith, James Gandolfini, Budd Schulberg and others have lent their support. GSFF is an all volunteer non-profit organization. The event is held on an annual basis in the spring of each year at the Paramount Theater/Convention Hall complex as well as other venues in Asbury Park, New Jersey and surrounding area.
