Hear all about this year's 24th Annual Newport Beach Festival Oct. 12-19 from the founder himself, Gregg Schwenk.  And learn about all they have to offer this year including hundreds of screenings from countless feature and short films (at theaters across Newport Beach).



Plus an assortment of "INTERNATIONAL SPOTLIGHTS" like the "Mexican Spotlight" we reported on earlier. And the IRISH SPOTLIGHT (that caught my eye) with screenings of both new films from Ireland and an anniversary showing of the 1993 Daniel Day-Lewis Classic "In the Name of The Father" (with famed director Jim Sheridan flying over from Ireland for a special Q and A and "after party" at Muldoon's Irish Pub) on Sunday Oct. 15.  Check it out at www.newportbeachfilmfest.com
