Orlando, FL- Premier movie screenings are usually the hottest ticket in town. Especially if it is a local movie premier screening.
That was the case on Wednesday night in the Plaza Cinema Cafe in downtown Orlando, where people came to see the first out of two nights of the screening of the local horrow thiller The Sacred.
"The movie was very good, I enjoyed it and I especially liked the cinematographic of the movie." said Monica Travers.
Before the showing of the movie, the director Jose Zambrano Cassella and the producer Sharon Reed were outside in the lobby of the theater greeting and talking to the guest about the movie and answering any questions the guest might have about the movie.
According to Sharon the movie was made here in Central Florida, because it is where there production team is located and also because both the director and her also live here. They wanted a swampy setting for the movie so they chose to film the movie in Wekiva Falls Resort in Sorrento, FL.
This is Jose Zambrano Cassella sixth movie and all his previous movies including this one have been horrow films.
Making this production a horrow film "it just came out like that" said Mr. Zambrano Cassella.
But Ms. Reed had a different explanition of why this film was made a horrow film.
"It is the easiest genre to sell domestically and foreign," said Sharon
Jose Zambrano Cassella has been a Cinematographer for over 16 years and has directed six films all in the past five years. Sharon Reed has been part of Camera and Electric department for six movies and has also been an actress for one those movies. This is her first participation as a writer for a movie.
The movie is about a group of university students that travel to a swamp land of Florida to complete their thesis project on Native American Folklore. But when they got there they found more than they were bargining for. The location were they traveled to and are staying seems to be curse. The native indians used those sacred lands to trial criminals and unwated members of the tribe. These trials were accomblish by using the power of the sacred lands. The land have the power to bring "sins" back to life. So the students have to fight for their life against their past sins with nowhere to run.
There will be another Sacred movie screening tomorrow at seven thirty in the Plaza Cinema Cafe in Downtown Orlando.

By Wilnifred Santiago
Orlando, FL- Go Green! This is the message that was introduced during a presentation on Tuesday in the Orlando Public Library.
The purpose of this event was to learn about financial incentives for green design in Central Florida.
The event was hosted by AIA Orlando, a Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and the presenters were representatives from the Orange County Government, City of Orlando , OUC, Progress Energy, and the US Green Building Council.
During his presentation, Cameron Saulsby the OUC Conservation Coordinator talked about the Residential Incentive programs, the Commercial Incentive Progams and many other financial incentive programs that OUC offers. He stated that in his opinion the insulation to the home is the most sufficient Recidential Incentive program that they offer.
Different people in the crowd had mixed emotions about the financial incentives programs that were explained during this event.
"It is good that the county stepped up, I dont know how they are going to found the incentives, but good," said Mike, engineer.
"It is a cultural shift to get people to do it, to become part of a new culture," said Jefrrey, architect.
But Cameron disagreed with Jeffrey.
"A lot of the programs picked up in summer becuase of the high bills, more people started calling about how to lower their bills and the incentives were offered and people started to try them," Said Cameron Saulby of OUC.
More events like this will be offered by AIA Orlando through out October. October marks Orlando's 2nd Annual Architecture Month.
