Jacksonville Film Festival 2008

"Crazy" is an independent feature based on the life of legendary Nashville guitarist, Hank Garland, who played on recordings by artists such as Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline and Elvis Presley. As a result of his often conflictive experience with the Nashville Mob of the 1950s and his tempestuous relationship with his wife, Garland barely survived a near-fatal car crash only to be subjected to electro-shock treatments, which tragically ended his playing career at the age of thirty-one. Garland also wrote "Jingle Bell Rock," and was a long-time resident of Orange Park, Florida, before he died in 2004. Musician and actor Waylon Payne, who played Jerry Lee Lewis in “Walk the Line,” portrays Garland in the film. Actress Ali Larter, who plays Nicki Sanders in the television series "Heroes," portrays Evelyn Garland. "Crazy" was directed, produced and written by Rick Bieber, who will attend opening night along with actors from the film. Southeast Premiere

Capturing the raw power of a grassroots hip-hop movement, the multi-award-winning documentary “Inside the Circle,” tells the story of two strikingly talented b-boys (break-dancers), Josh and Omar, best friends who become rivals when they join competing dance crews. Immersed in the b-boy culture of defiant creativity, Omar rises to international renown, while Josh tangles with the criminal justice system. Both of them struggle to keep dance at the center of their lives and the B-Boy City competitive events serve as emotional milestones in their journey to adulthood. Film presentation will be followed by “Hip-Hop for the Masses,” street party taking place just outside of the Florida Theatre with b-boy battles, live graffiti artists and a hip-hop stage with guest DJ’s and performers.
