Broadcasting Sunshine Rough Cut Celebration
Aug 29th
On Friday evening, the Warren Atherton theatre at San Joaquin Delta College filled with friends and family of the cast and crew of RTV’s Broadcasting Sunshine. They gathered to celebrate the near-completion of filming.
Mr. William Story, Radio Television Instructor at Delta College, took the stage and thanked everyone for their support. Each time Mr. Story took the stage, or even approached the stage, the audience cheered with enthusiasm.
To kick things off, Beloved Sister took the stage and sang a great a cappella piece. After they exited the stage, the crowd cheered for an encore. After a couple of minutes, the four young girls aged 11 to 15 came back for another original song.
The co-producers, Fia Delgado, Carla Jay, Kitty Kennedy, MJ Garcia, Rick Cortez,and Melissa Deverell, took the stage and talked about what this film meant to them.
Before jumping into Sunshine, we were treated to Illusia, a short film written by Curtis Wilson and produced by MJ Garcia.
Rather than simply watching clips, the audience, since most were cast, crews, volunteers or supporters, were asked what scenes they wanted to see. Then Melissa Deverell found the scene in Final Cut Pro and played it. In each segment, actors from that particular scene were invited on stage to give their commentary. Think of it as a live director’s cut. Very nice touch.
At the end, all of the cast and crew were asked to come on stage and dance, while Mr. Story filmed. This scene, along with dancing audience members, was to be the final scene of the movie said Mr. Story. To receive a named credit in the movie, participants need only visit the RTV department and sign the form. What a very cool way to end the show.
The full length feature film makes its debut on Friday, May 20, 2011 at Warren Atherton theatre. Watch the trailer on YouTube.

In its second year, Miracle Mile Night, organized by friend of the show, Greg Bahr, grew by a few blocks, two stages, and a handful of cars. Port City Marketing Solutions brought back the very popular Pin Up Girl competition and even brought out a surprise special guest to kick off the event.

Two Stingrays to NBBA World Series
Jul 31st
Tomorrow, two of the Stockton Stingrays are heading off to Rochester, Minnesota to play in the National Beep Baseball Association World Series. The Stingrays did not raise enough money to send the entire team so Megan Winfield and team captain, Jennifer Boylan will play with the Colorado Storm.
Beep baseball is baseball, slightly modified to be played by blind and visually impaired athletes. Players wear blindfolds to level the playing field for those with varying levels of visual impairment. The NBBA World Series is August 1 through August 8.
Jennifer said they are happy to be playing alongside the Storm because they have been great supporters of the Stingrays. When the Stingrays were short volunteers at the 2005 World Series in Houston, one of the Storm volunteers made the drive from Colorado to south Texas to help them out.
Next year, the NBBA World Series will be played in Indianapolis, Indiana and the Stingrays are hoping to send the full team to compete. In 2009, Stockton hosted the NBBA World Series [podcast|pictures].
To send a full team of players and volunteers, they need to raise $20,000, about $1,000 per person. This season’s sweetheart pancake breakfast, pasta dinner, golf tournament (the golf tournament raised a record amount this year) and other events were successful but didn’t raise the full $20,000. With Lyons closed and Oakmoore on the selling block, Jennifer and others are already working to find a location for next year’s golf tournament.
If you’d like to watch the Stingrays play exhibition games against teams from the community, they play Saturdays at 10 a.m. at Atherton Park through August 28. Come out and watch.
The Stingrays are always seeking personal and corporate donations. To donate or learn more about the Stockton Stingrays, visit their website.
Safe travels, Megan and Jennifer. I’m sure you’ll both make Stockton and the Stingrays proud!
