James Kennedy Letter
Dear Fifth Graders of Washington Elementary,
This is James Kennedy of The Order of Odd-Fish and the 90-Second Newbery Film Festival. I had a great time speaking to you on Tuesday!
Some of you might be interested in my novel The Order of Odd-Fish. You can find more information and reviews about it here: http://jameskennedy.com/books/
And here it is on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0440240654
Were you intrigued by the Order of Odd-Fish fan art? You can see more of it here: http://jameskennedy.com/oddfishgallery/
Were you inspired to make a movie for the 90-Second Newbery Film Festival? I hope so! The deadline for movie submissions is January 11, 2019 and the Chicago screening will be on March 10, 2019.
You can learn complete information about the 90-Second Newbery Film Festival here: http://www.90secondnewbery.com
To get a good idea of what makes for a good 90-Second Newbery, I recommend you check out this page of some of the best 90-Second Newbery movies I've received, including some of the movies I showed on Thursday: http://90secondnewbery.com/bestof
Do you want to make a 90-Second Newbery, but you don't know where to start? I've put together some moviemaking resources on the 90-Second Newbery website. Stuff like links to royalty-free music, green screen tips, advice on scriptwriting, cinematography, and editing, and even a step-by-step "How To Make A 90-Second Newbery" guide. I'm adding new material all the time. You can find it all right here: http://90secondnewbery.com/howto
Thanks again for hosting me at your school! I'm looking forward to seeing you again in March!
Sincerely,
James
