Sac City College Film students win Sacramento Film & Music Festivals, back-to-back!

San Francisco native, and Sacramento City College honor roll student & film major DonCarlos Sanders won the Audience Choice award for best film in the 10×10 filmmaker challenge at the Sacramento Film and Music Festival. Filmmakers, families, and friends filled the historic Crest Theatre in Sacramento, California on August 21st, to watch the various projects submitted by filmmakers of all ages. The 10×10 filmmaker challenge was the film festival finale, and host to over twenty great short films competing in various categories such as best use of color & image, emerging filmmaker, and audience choice for best film among other categories.

OmegaDon Promotions and DonMegaTV CEO DonCarlos Sanders also known as the artist Black Book from the 90s hip hop group; The African Identity; has written and directed his first film. The Sacramento City College film major’s career expansion into the world of film has been moving full steam ahead. DonCarlos made his acting debut nine months ago in the short film “There’s An App For That” by Clint Howard, and followed that by co-starring in “The Pitch” (Winner- 2010 Winterfest Sacramento Film and Music Festival) by Dwight Taylor. In such a short time DonCarlos has made a lot of surprising moves.

DonCarlos Sanders is the writer and director of “ENVY” starring Dan Wood, Patricia Simmons, and Joe Calavita; which premiered at the historic Crest Theatre during the six o’clock (pm) show. He reached out to many of his friends and colleagues in various communities to make this effort a success for everyone. He also stuck to his beliefs of helping children as well as adults realize their dreams by mentoring, consulting, and valuing the importance of networking. Many of the people in the cast and crew for (this) film are working in this field for the first time.

“ENVY” is a IMDb credited short film, filmed on location at Howe Park, Enotria Restaurant & Wine Bar, and The Progressive Elks Lodge #1587 all in Sacramento, California.
