Mar 6, 2020
An 'Eggcellent' Festival to get your Flicks on Route 66! See Southern Fried Chicks (CMT) National Comedian, Impressionist and Actress, Sonya White perform on Sunday! She's also hosting the Award Show!
MIAMI, Okla. - March 6, 2020 - PRLog -- The 3rd Annual Sunny Side Up Film Festival (SSUFF) is pleased to present a family fun weekend and unique film festival experience. It'll be at the Coleman Theatre, who is also co-hosting the event, located at 103 N. Main St. Miami, Oklahoma.
The festival begins Friday, March 20th, from 4pm to 10pm. Films will screen and there will be Q&A sessions with filmmakers throughout each day. The festival continues Saturday March 21st from 10am to 10pm. The final day is Sunday March 22nd from 10am to 6:15pm.
National Comedian, Impressionist & Actress Sonya White will perform at 6:30pm on Sunday. She combines Southern charm with city-wise street smarts to create a show that won her multiple appearances on Star Search (CBS), promo spots on Last Comic Standing (NBC), featured role and national tour in Southern Fried Chicks (CMT), nomination for 'Best Female Performer' by Campus Activities Magazine, appearance on 'Girls Behaving Badly' (Oxygen), on 'Comedy Spotlight Roadtrip' (Comcast), and performances at the 'U.S. Comedy Arts Festival' (HBO, E!, Comedy Central). Her comedy is peppered with spot-on impersonations and sound effects.
"We have films that are local and from all over," said Festival Director Brenda Whitehead. "Our film selections are excellent again this year. We're also excited to have our first world premiere film. It's titled 'Five of Spades'---a western genre film. What makes it more interesting, is because it's a collection of five vignettes", she said.
Many great films will screen such as "Lord Finn", "In Sickness & in Health", "Winfield Historical Times...and other Oddities", "Dragon Song", "Bequest", "The Tiny House Movie", "Letters for Anniston", "Bill Tilghman and the Outlaws", "Sparky and Butch", "Prone to Violence", "Amber and Grace, "Assisted Living", "Love Lives in a Void", "Smile", "128 Day's", "Miss Happy", "The Fisherman" and "Helen's Birthday"----just to name a few. There is over sixty indie films and thirty screenplay finalist. See the full list, with synopsis at http://www.brenrockproductions.com/SSUFF-2020-Selections.html
The festival will be the first event at the Coleman held following an upgrade of its sound system. "Through our '90 for 90′ campaign, we have raised enough money to get new speakers and a soundboard — state-of-the-art — like all of the acts that come through ask for, which will provide better quality all around the theatre," Coleman managing director Danny Dillon said."
The Coleman opened on April 18, 1929. Among the many stars who have performed on the Coleman Theatre stage are Will Rogers, Tom Mix, Sally Rand, Bing Crosby, Jim Thorpe, the magician Harry Blackstone and Moscelyne Larkin.
Once the award show concludes Sunday evening, attendees are encouraged to attend the "After-Hang" at Montana Mike's Steakhouse on Sunday March 22nd. They'll be open late for the film festival.

Why the 1960 film The Wild, Wild Rose is the late Grace Chang’s greatest cinematic triumph
Grace Chang, also known by her stage name Ge Lan, died in August at the age of 93. She is widely remembered today for her lively performance in Mambo Girl, the 1957 Chinese-language musical that made her a star. Famed for pure roles expressing the aspirations of would-be middle-class Hong Kong girls, Chang initially played characters who were hip, popular, socially adept, conscientious and relatively well-off, possessing no hint of sexuality; her character in Mambo Girl is almost...
Klara and the Sun review: Jenna Ortega is an android in upbeat but saccharine sci-fi fable
3/5 stars Taika Waititi, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind Jojo Rabbit (2019), brings his trademark quirk to Klara and the Sun, a sunny-side-up sci-fi fable that occasionally delivers flashes of darkness. Based on Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2021 novel of the same name, the film is set in a future where AI companions are the norm. The effervescent Klara (Jenna Ortega) is one such android, albeit a discontinued B1 model now being hawked from a city discount store. Klara’s escape comes when a young girl,...

The ancient Chinese warrior queen who led huge armies to victory and stole a king’s heart
Fu Hao is one of the earliest documented female military generals in history, yet relatively little is known about her. Most of the information gathered about her life is from her tomb. One thing we do know is that she lived during the Shang dynasty (1600BC-1046BC), before the unification of China. Fu’s tomb was excavated in 1976. Its contents led archaeologists to conclude she was a high-ranking royal consort and military general who commanded some of the largest armies of her time. So, who...
