RED BANK- April 23rd, 2009, hundreds of kids will walk the red carpet to watch their own cartoons premiere on the big screen at venue sponsor, Clearview Cinemas, in Red Bank for the 2nd annual Two River Children’s Festival 2009, Kids Factory Flicks. This red-carpet extravaganza, hosted by Small Factory Productions (Fair Haven) was a major success last August and is only going to be greater and ‘greener’ this April.

28 kid produced animated cartoon shorts will light up the screen to celebrate, support, and recognize the children and the arts. With an overall ‘green’ theme in honor of national earth month, the festival will feature four earth-friendly cartoon movies created by school children who participated in ‘Project Green and Blue,’ a New Jersey Earth Day project.


‘Project Green and Blue,’ is collaboration between Sponsor -Two River Film Festival, Host- Small Factory Productions and Fair Haven, Little Silver, Red Bank and Rumson public schools. The goal of the project is to promote green and blue awareness and efforts within the communities. Participating schools asked students to develop planet-saving superheros and write stories revolving around the green and blue themes of saving the ocean, energy, transportation and recycling. The response to this project was incredible and the outcome is four kid produced ‘green and blue’ cartoon movies conveying a powerful message.

" We are proud to support our excellent public schools in this very important image based film/art initiative because the film making process encourages a natural collaboration of music, art, language, and science in order to create magic on the screen. Children involved in this environmental program take lessons beyond the classroom because they have created the messages from their hearts. Small Factory Productions is a special
"
  place that nurtures the creative spirit and we applaud them!
says Rosellen Otrakji, CEO & President of The Two River Film Festival.


" We would like to thank Fair Haven, Little Silver, Red Bank and Rumson Public Schools, Students, Teachers and Staff, and the Two River Film Festival for their ongoing support on our mission to make a difference! "
