Haydenfilms LLC is a producer and distributor of independent films.〔 It was founded in 2001 by Hayden Craddolph, the current executive director of the Haydenfilms Institute (HFI). Haydenfilms is based in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, at the (TEK Park ) campus. ==History== Haydenfilms LLC began as the thesis of Electronic Media postgraduate at Kutztown University Hayden Craddolph in 2001.〔 In 2004, Haydenfilms hosted one of the world’s first online film festivals; of the various online film festivals, it was the first to accept all short films regardless of genre.〔 The success of the first festival solidified the reputation of Haydenfilms LLC as a viable network platform and premier online resource for independent filmmakers.〔 Haydenfilms also developed as a production-based organization. In 2007, the organization partnered with director (Patrick Steward ) to produce his film (''The Hollow Tree'' ), fundraising the film’s entire budget as well as facilitating casting calls and other miscellaneous areas of production.〔 ''The Hollow Tree'' competed in the 2008-2010 festival circuit and was screened at the Cannes Film Festival and the Hamptons International Film Festival, among others.〔 HFI has since worked on projects for the Berks Women in Crisis organization and Shale Gas Outage.〔〔 In 2008, the (Olivet Boys and Girls Club of Reading ), Pennsylvania, reached out to HFI in hopes that Craddolph and his team could empower its members to combat gun violence. The resulting program enabled Boys & Girls Club members to write, direct, and star in three public service announcements for the Speak Up! Campaign, an initiative working to promote anonymous reporting of gun and weapon violence. This program eventually inspired HFI’s 2012 Youth Media Initiative program.〔〔 In 2010, the IRS approved the Haydenfilms Institute for 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.〔 According to the HFI’s website, the institute’s mission is to empower, educate and fund independent and student filmmakers. HFI is currently in development for the 5.0 Online Film Festival, this time planning to offer a $25,000 grand prize for the winning director.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Haydenfilms」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
