Johnsonburg native Steven Jacobs was on hand Tuesday night for a trailer viewing, question and answer session and reception at this months Elk County Council on the Arts Â?Artist Meet-up.Â?

Jacobs, a current Florida resident, is currently on a publicity tour promoting his films Â?AnatomiaÂ? and Â?e.,Â? both slated for completion in the near future.





Jacobs said of the event, Â?its really a re-introduction of me in this area.Â? He added, Â?most people don't know what I did in high school, not what I've done in the meantime.Â? He noted he was, Â?interested to see the reaction,Â? to his work in the area he is from. He pointed it's, Â?wonderful coming back to this.Â?

Jacobs presented trailers and film sequences from both films he is currently promoting including a six-minute trailer of Â?e.Â? set to music and the debut of the trailer to the film Â?Anatomia.Â? The Â?AnatomiaÂ? trailer, said Jacobs, hasn't even been presented to the cast and will debut on his Web site, www.stargazerfilmworks.com, on Friday. He said of Â?Anatomia,Â? Â?it's a pretty exciting project.Â?

Jacobs is a producer, director and writer for Stargazer Filmworks in addition to taking duties as head of development. The independent production company out of Pompano, Fla., said Jacobs, focuses on small budget/high art projects.

Jacobs noted that anyone wanting help in the independent film world can reach him through the Stargazer Web site. He pointed out he would, Â?respond to anyone and be happy to give advice.Â?

Jacobs said he hopes to return to the area after touring the film festival circuit to give a full viewing of his two films.

Refreshments for the event were provided by the Johnsonburg Community Trust in support of a Johnsonburg artist, noted community trust members on hand.

It was a wonderful Meet-Up that has started a series of future gatherings for 'media arts' in Elk County. Steven will join us once again before the end of '06 for 3 presentations of his films hopefully with one in Johnsonburg, Ridgway and a larger venue in Pittsburgh at an independent theater.
This knowledgeable and talented artist will definately continue on to larger things in his film career. We are excited to have been there at the beginning!
