The Palm Beach International Film Festival has presented established and emerging filmmakers from around the world in the same hometown as Queen of PAWN’s since 2002. Yearly entries include films, shorts, and documentaries. This year, the PBIFF is scheduled April 4^th through 11^th and in addition to the film presentations, the week-long festival will be hosting conferences, seminars and galas. According to the PBIFF website, this event has been recognized as one of the top 25 Independent Festivals in the world. You can find the schedule at their site: PBIFilmfest.org. Don’t be surprised if you spot a celebrity or two at the festival. Equally, this is one of the great opportunities for aspiring filmmakers to present their art, and maybe even find their fame. As we have learned from the success of films like Slacker, Clerks, Blair Witch Project, 28 Days Later, El Mariachi and David Lynch’s Inland Empire, you don’t have to buy an expensive camera to make a great film. Some industry pros advise that to make a successful feature film, what is more important than a top of the line camera is a strong story. Whether you are the next aspiring Robert Rodriguez or the family’s film crew capturing life’s daily, precious moments, Queen of PAWNS has a camcorder for you. Our inventory includes a variety of camcorders from brands like Sony, JVC, Canon and Samsung to name a few. With varying options in recorded video quality and memory storage capabilities, we can help you find the camera that best accommodates your budget and creative vision.

In honor of the PBIFF, we will have a 30 % off sale on all camcorders throughout the festival. And don’t forget who helped you find the camera that will make next year’s award winning entry at the Palm Beach International Film Festival. (Nudge, nudge.)
