ON MONDAY, THE LITTLE ROCK FILM FESTIVAL announced the slate of 19 “Made in Arkansas” films that will screen at the 2013 LRFF. Three of the films are feature-length (including director Juli Jackson’s “45RPM”), while the rest are shorts. Topics run the gamut, including a short about bigfoot hunters (“Foot Hunters”), a profile of Little Rock homeless outreach advocate Aaron Reddin (“The Van”) and a feature-length documentary about the rise and fall of football golden boy Mitch Mustain (“The Identity Theft of Mitch Mustain”). Check out the full list at littlerockfilmfestival.org. All the films chosen for the “Made in Arkansas” category will compete for the LRFF’s Charles B. Pierce Award for Best Film, as well as Best Director and Best Actor/Actress awards. The Little Rock Film Festival runs May 15-19.

LOOKS THEY’VE LINED UP AN OFFICIAL U.S. theatrical debut of “Ain’t in it for My Health: A Film About Levon Helm.” The documentary about the Phillips County native and musical legend will premiere April 19 at Cinema Village in New York “before showing in select cities,” according to AM Magazine. You might recall that April 19 is the one-year anniversary of Helm’s death. The trailers for the film look awesome. Filmmaker Jacob Hatley basically lived with Helm and crew up in Woodstock, N.Y., for more than two years, filming the whole time. Much of the film involves Helm sitting around his table telling stories, which sounds like something you could listen to for about two billion hours before getting tired of it. If you’ve read “This Wheel’s On Fire” (which you really, really should have), you already know that the man had a true gift for storytelling. Here’s hoping the film will make its way to Helm’s home state sometime soon.

10th Annual
TIMES PHOTOGRAPHER BRIAN CHILSON GOT SOME GREAT PHOTOS from last Friday’s George Strait concert at Verizon Arena. Attendance was 17,036, and during the main set, Strait and Army Lt. Gen. Leroy Sisco presented the keys to a new home to Army veteran Cory Perrin and his wife Nancy, of St. Louis. Perrin was injured in 2006 while on patrol east of Baghdad when an IED exploded. He suffered traumatic brain injury and injuries to his spine, and he suffers from posttraumatic stress as well. Perrin, who received the Purple Heart among several other awards, was presented with the house through the Military Warriors Support Foundation’s “Homes 4 Wounded Heroes” program. See the photos of Strait, the Perrins and concert opener Martina McBride at arktimes.com/georgestrait.
