Film Festival Lights Up Local Screens Bv Shindy Chen Staff Writer The Hi Mom! Film Festival will do its best to put Chapel Hill on the map next to Cannes this weekend. The festival, in its third and biggest year yet, has the sole purpose of thrust ing promising film auteurs’ projects into the limelight, allowing both filmmakers and their films notoriety in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro community. “This area is starved for independent work and needed film from local film makers and across the world, ” said fes tival coordinator Mike Connor. “We felt Hi Mom! needed to be a larger event.” Connor and his partner, Kendra Gaeta, have been planning the event since September with funds provided primarily by the Carolina Production Guild, the University’s student- and FIRE From Page 1 Before the Fire Department arrived, volunteer firefighter Doug Draper awoke and responded after hearing the call on his scanner. “When I got there, I asked (Jackson) if everybody was out,” Draper said. He said Jackson told him that his room mates were still in the apartment. Draper said they tried to rescue Bullard, but the conditions were too WEB SITE From Page 1 Web site that you operate at uncgirls.com,” Drucker wrote. Maloney said he made no written response to the letter. Maloney said he bought the domain name with the intention of selling it and made “a couple of hundred bucks.” On Monday, he refused to reveal the name of the content provider. On Tuesday, he told the DTH that the site was maintained by Value Floldings Inc., a company based in Scottsdale, Ariz.

E^T yMADONNA best FRDENDSmake HBEST mistakes. News community-run film organization. Thirty-nine films hand-picked from 150 entries will be shown Friday and Saturday in locations including Hamilton Hall, Hanes Art Center, the Carolina Theater and Cat’s Cradle. Some are critically acclaimed works shown at major film festivals such as Sundance, Cannes, New York Underground and Chicago Underground, while others are strictly homegrown creations from the minds of Chapel Hill residents and students. “The films are from all over the place,” Gaeta said. “Without the festival, no one would ever see any of it. “It’s important that people come out and support this, because they’d never see it in a large theater,” she said. “We’re providing access to the good stuff.” Gaeta is awaiting the premiere of her own film, “Cold Soup,” slated for 8 p.m. dangerous. “I busted in the front door, but there was too much smoke,” he said. “I had no (firefighting) gear. 1 tried to get in but couldn’t reach him.” He andjackson then broke the win dow to Bullard’s room, he said. Draper said they saw Bullard uncon scious by the window but were unable to reach him. The Fire Department arrived soon after the attempted rescue. Draper said. Stanford said the firefighters reported heavy smoke and fire coming out the Value Flolding, said he did not produce the site’s content and maintained only the site's design and functionality. He said another third party created the con tent. He too refused to name that party. When asked Thursday about that third party, Maloney revealed that the content is produced in Chapel Hill. He still refused to name the provider. “I would not put anyone through the ridiculousness of this. In selling it, I gave away my rights and responsibilities.” But Maloney is still registered as the owner of the site with Network Solutions, an Internet domain registry agency. Erickson, the acknowledged site designer, said he was never contacted Saturday at Cat’s Cradle. Her film is one of two festival selec tions sponsored and funded by the Carolina Production Guild, which funds four independent film projects annually. “Hi Mom! is definitely a way to make CPG films public,” Connor said. The other guild-sponsored film, “Curious George,” was made by novice University filmmakers Aaron Freeman, Jackson Brown and Marcus Carden. Proceeds from the festival will help the CPG fund future productions. “Without these funds that we’re giving back to the CPG, four independent local films wouldn’t get made,” Gaeta said. “We pick up a lot of the stock that the underfunded (communication) depart ment can’t take care of,” said Camille Hawley, guild president. “The festival is a way of including ourselves in the com munity, as well as showcasing CPG front door. “They made an entrance and found (Bullard) in his bedroom,” he said. “They entered and handed (Bullard) out the window.” Draper said he andjackson helped the firefighters pull Bullard out. He said Bullard was unconscious but breathing independently. Firefighters then carried Carroll from the burning apartment, Stanford said. They performed CPR but could not revive him. Carole Honeycutt, manager of Sumter Square Apartments, said said directly by any legal authorities regard ing a possible trademark violation and that any changes he had made were at the direction of the corporation for which he works. “They send me an e mail, and I make changes,” he said. “I’m the only one who does any site mainte nance - I’m where the buck stops.” Even if another party assisted in putting up content in a format accessible through the World Wide Web, legal experts said Maloney could still be held responsible for the content of the site. “The fact that he is allowing content to be put up by someone else is irrele vant as long as he is overseeing it or owns the domain,” said technology v 5 \eVri-a tion Cukt *r es .

University Legal Counsel Susan Ehringhaus refused to comment on what she termed a “pending legal matter.” Maloney said he would keep the site registered in his name to protect his friend and would change it only if he is sued. “If I get a summons, it’s over.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.
