film and managed all the cinematography, editing and visual effects.

Nava credits them both with helping him in digital filmmaking and getting him “up to speed.”

Frank Léal, Owner of Léal Vineyards, was instrumental in the filming process by providing his winery and his mansion for the film. After seeing Nava’s film at the Monterey premiere, Léal suggested that his own Morgan Hill theatre be used for the hometown premiere.

“He was true to his word,” Nava said.

Not only did Frank offer to use his newly renovated Granada Theatre in Morgan Hill, but he also suggested that everything at the Morgan Hill premiere stay local.

Food will be provided by LJB Farms and Swank Farms. Morgan Hill chef Mark Johnson has prepared the menu and will be cooking the meals.

Scariot Myers said that although this is their third screening, it is just as special as every other screening.

“We’re all coming together, and it’s cool, because this is our hometown,” Scariot Myers said.

“You know, you meet people for

a reason…they’re there for something, for a purpose,” Nava said.

“These people, local people, great people, are better than the people who are on the screen. They did it for the passion and love; no money. All the local people opened their hearts, but more importantly, opened their doors for us.”

Upon hearing about his desire to make this movie, Nava’s wife Christina asked him “How many dreams do you have to chase before you finally catch one?” This is a line that Nava would use in his script. Much like Atticus Cane, Nava has also taken a journey to his own “Biggest Game,” or “Emerald City.” It’s a journey he didn’t have to travel alone nor go too far to make. Just like Dorothy, he found that the other side of the rainbow was always here at home.

“The Biggest Game in Town” will have its Morgan Hill premiere on Sunday, Aug. 27 at the Granada Theatre in Morgan Hill, 17440 Monterey Road. Cocktail hour is from 4-5pm followed by a three course meal from 5-6:30pm. The movie will begin at 6:30. Tickets are $40. Tickets can be bought at eventbrite.com. Visit thebiggestgameintown.com.

Filmmaker John Nava’s Hometown Premiere

BY JENNY ARBIZU

J

AUGUST 25, 2017

ohn Nava loves a good story. He knows how to tell them and he knows how to pick them. He names The Wizard of Oz as one of his favorites and he believes all good stories follow the pattern of that classic movie.

“To me, every movie is based off The Wizard of Oz,” he explained.

“It has family, it has friends—it’s a journey from A to B.” Almost 30 years since he first dabbled with the camera, Nava is now preparing for Morgan Hill’s Aug. 27 premiere of his second film, The Biggest Game in Town, which he wrote, directed and co-produced. The film has already premiered at Redwood City’s Fox Theatre and Monterey’s Golden State Theatre. ➝ 6

THE BIGGEST GAME

AUGUST 25, 2017

SHARED VISION Nava co-produced the film with Mattie Scariot Myers and Nils Myers, from Gilroy’s 152 West Productions.

6

In the film, main character Atticus Cane is akin to Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. Atticus rounds up two other friends (“one guy is looking for a brain, the other is looking for a heart,” Nava joked) to put their life savings together and to get to a mythical card game that is traveling the country—“The Biggest Game in Town.” All of this is unbeknownst to their wives, who think their husbands are taking much less money than they actually are. The husbands are surprised when their wives show up at The Biggest Game in Town.

John Nava’s own journey in filmmaking follows the same pattern; a journey from A to B, and traveled with family and friends who have taken that journey alongside him.

He has a great story about how he’s gotten to this point in his filmmaking career.

A graduate from Live Oak High School, Nava grew up in San Martin on a 40 acre prune ranch and held his first real job driving trucks for Sigona’s Farmers Market back in 1979. Ever Sigona’s loyal employee, Nava is now part of its management team and is the director of its private label program.

“I do all of the buying of non-produce for the store; gourmet cheese, olive oils, balsamic vinegars, specialty foods. That’s my realm of expertise. Kind of natural with me growing up on a ranch. I’ve always been in the food industry,” he said.

He first discovered the passion of filmmaking in his late ’20s when he’d make movies with his friends for their own entertainment. They’d invite other friends to their condo to watch—until the crowds grew too big and noisy with laughter.

“The cops came, started watching the movie… and they stayed,” Nava said. One of those officers told him: “‘Dude, you’re missing your calling; you should make movies for real,’” Nava recalled.

He went to the library and learned everything there was to learn about film.

“I never went to school. I bought a camera, met some people in San Francisco and started doing demo reels for actors,” he said.

He filmed and wrote short skits for the demo reels, catering to the specific acting needs of each actor.

After many of these actors successfully obtained acting gigs, he

decided to begin filming his first movie in 1993.

In Handsome Stranger, a western written by Nava, he cast his friends (some did theatre; some didn’t) in the film. Other friends, who were general contractors and electricians, helped him build a western town using another friend’s three-acre lot.

Nava “cold-called” TV actor, Eric Zivot, who he read about in The San Francisco Chronicle. Zivot accepted, but due to being a contracted actor, he was the only actor paid for his role. Other actors were paid with favors such as babysitting, fresh fruit from his work, or even lunch.

“I could never afford to pay anybody,” Nava said.

After roughly three years, he had a film. It premiered in Redwood City and Nava was able to make some money by it selling it to local video stores.

It would take him 22 years to make his next movie.

“Life happens,” he said. He married his lifelong partner Christina in 2007—they’ve been together for a total of 25 years.

“I always told my wife, I want to

do one more because I think I can,” said Nava.

A trip to Las Vegas in 2011 is was what inspired The Biggest Game in Town. Sitting at a poker table with a “mob-boss type,” a British man, a drunk Elvis tribute artist, and a man who was going on the Food Network Channel, Nava soon after went to his room and began writing.

“They always say, ‘Write what you know,” Nava said.

Though he is a self-proclaimed home game poker champ, Nava researched the poker field, making trips to Las Vegas and playing games with his friends. Many of the conversations used during those games would end up in the script.

“Yes, it’s a poker movie, but it’s all about relationships and how we treat each other. Atticus is really doing it for the love of his wife,” Nava said.

Building on the same real people he met in Las Vegas, The Biggest Game in Town has a comical group of characters. For instance, the Mob Boss, the British man, the Food Network chef, and the Elvis impersonator are all there. Just as in his first film, Nava used local actors and friends, some with theatre background and some who had a certain look.

For instance, Nava’s next door neighbor, Ralph Noe, was cast as Vic Manfrotto, the mob moss character.

“He was perfect to play the mob guy,” Nava said of his neighbor, who has 40 years of theatre experience. For two years he kept hounding me. He’d say, ‘I’m gonna die soon, I’d like to do a movie,” Nava laughed. “He was the first one I gave the script to.”

Also in the cast are Jayson Stebbins as Atticus Cane, David Buck as Tony Guancione, Denee Lewis as Tessa, John Sign Jr. (Nava’s boss) as Mr. Sicily, Eric Zivot as Ritchie the Rounder, and Steve Caposio (2015 winner of The Food Network’s Cutthroat Kitchen) as Diamond Dave.

Once again, Nava paid his friends with favors.

“I’m gonna owe them washing their cars, walking their dogs, babysitting for eternity,” he said.

film and managed all the cinematography, editing and visual effects.

Nava credits them both with helping him in digital filmmaking and getting him “up to speed.”

Frank Léal, Owner of Léal Vineyards, was instrumental in the filming process by providing his winery and his mansion for the film. After seeing Nava’s film at the Monterey premiere, Léal suggested that his own Morgan Hill theatre be used for the hometown premiere.

“He was true to his word,” Nava said.

Not only did Frank offer to use his newly renovated Granada Theatre in Morgan Hill, but he also suggested that everything at the Morgan Hill premiere stay local.

Food will be provided by LJB Farms and Swank Farms. Morgan Hill chef Mark Johnson has prepared the menu and will be cooking the meals.

Scariot Myers said that although this is their third screening, it is just as special as every other screening.

“We’re all coming together, and it’s cool, because this is our hometown,” Scariot Myers said.

“You know, you meet people for

a reason…they’re there for something, for a purpose,” Nava said.

“These people, local people, great people, are better than the people who are on the screen. They did it for the passion and love; no money. All the local people opened their hearts, but more importantly, opened their doors for us.”

Upon hearing about his desire to make this movie, Nava’s wife Christina asked him “How many dreams do you have to chase before you finally catch one?” This is a line that Nava would use in his script. Much like Atticus Cane, Nava has also taken a journey to his own “Biggest Game,” or “Emerald City.” It’s a journey he didn’t have to travel alone nor go too far to make. Just like Dorothy, he found that the other side of the rainbow was always here at home.

“The Biggest Game in Town” will have its Morgan Hill premiere on Sunday, Aug. 27 at the Granada Theatre in Morgan Hill, 17440 Monterey Road. Cocktail hour is from 4-5pm followed by a three course meal from 5-6:30pm. The movie will begin at 6:30. Tickets are $40. Tickets can be bought at eventbrite.com. Visit thebiggestgameintown.com.

on for about 30 years,” says Saxton.

“It’s hard to say when it originally began—it just grew. In the original days everyone just said, ‘Hey let’s have a garage sale in the last day of August.’

So it’s been an interesting evolution.”

Attendees will enjoy many activities including vendor booths, “Art in the Park,” and the “Garage Sale Alley,” that heralds back to the event’s humble beginnings. A special Kid Zone, introduced in 2016, is filled with fun activities for children including a rock wall, petting zoo, pony rides and a second stage dedicated to kids entertainment.

“We are very excited to bring it back this year,” says Saxton. “More fun stuff for kids to do that does not cost anything.”

Aromas Day is Aug. 27, 2017 from 9am-4pm in downtown Aromas. Admission is free. For more information or parade, vendor, or “Garage Sale Alley” space applications visit: aromasday.com.

AUGUST 25, 2017

he biggest day of the year is quickly approaching for residents and visitors of Aromas as Aromas Day returns with activities, entertainment and local flavor. “It is like stepping back in time to a little small town,” describes Jan Saxton, coordinator of the event since 2003. “It’s the kind of small town event that just doesn’t happen everywhere anymore.”

Aromas Day features tasty treats including the old-fashioned pancake breakfast at the Aromas Grange Hall and the food court that supports local nonprofits and all-day free entertainment on the main stage.

“In it’s current form, it’s been going

This annual free event is an ongoing tradition originating with community members coming together to hold an annual downtown garage sale the last weekend in August. The event has evolved and changed over multiple decades and responsibility for the event has changed hands several times over the years, beginning with the Aromas Service Club which ran the affair for two decades. Currently, Aromas Day is organized by a volunteer team of Aromas residents and is underwritten by the Aromas Fraternal Order of Eagles, who organize, advertise, and provide the free entertainment. Aromas Day is the biggest event of the year for the Aromas Eagles.

Booths are provided free for local non-profits as a fundraising opportunity. Last year over $15,000 was raised, which Saxton notes, “is the whole point of doing it.”

Parking is available by donation in the main parking lot on Aromas Road next to the A.R. Wilson Sports Park entrance with free wagon rides to and from the event.

The parking lot is the safest and most convenient place to park as all of the major streets in town will be closed and occupied by pedestrians. In addition, all parking lot proceeds go to the Aromas School Home and School Club to fund the sixth grade science camp allowing every student to attend.

Attendees are urged to wear their walking shoes, bring umbrellas in case it is sunny, and jackets in case it is windy and foggy. About 5,0006,000 people attend Aromas Day. “The atmosphere on the street is very laid back and friendly, there is a nice mix of people,” says Saxton, “It is a very diverse crowd, very harmonious and laid back, and I love it.”

Sometimes it’s in the rain

By BRAD STONE

W

e’re blessed to live in an area of wonderful festivals. Beyond our famous Garlic Festival, music buffs might look no further than the recently held San Jose Jazz Summer Fest or the upcoming Monterey Jazz Festival (September 16-17). But if

you’re looking for something a bit more far afield, and if the pocketbook allows—I highly recommend an excursion to Spain in July for the Heineken Jazzaldia in San Sebastían, Spain. I recently returned from attending this Festival, for the fifth year straight. A friend and colleague who has been going for 20 years recommended it

to me, and warned me: “once you go, you’ll want to go every year”, and it seems that he was prophetic.

The year was the 52nd Annual Jazzaldia, and they certainly have the formula right. The setting is wonderful, in the parte vieja of the Basque city of San Sebastían, on the north coast of Spain, near the border to France. The concerts are presented on a variety of stages—on the beach, in the Kursaal (beautiful modern auditorium), the Eugenia Theater (older, elegant, great acoustics), the Plaza de la Trinidad (outdoor venue) and at a modern museum—all great venues. The programming is top notch, the people wonderful, the Basque cuisine one of the world’s finest. All combine to give a fantastic experience - even for people like me who are “not big festival-type people”!

Musical highlights include Charles Lloyd (California resident!) receiving the annual Jazzaldia award for lifetime achievement, the Wayne Shorter Quartet, Santa Cruz native Donny McCaslin and his Quartet, Gregory Porter, Abdullah Ibrahim (doing a breathtakingly beautiful set, featuring an incredible horn section featuring Terence Blanchard), Japanese piano sensation Hiromi with Venezuelan harpist Edmar Castañeda, Herbie Hancock, Ernie Watts Quartet and many others.

Pop acts on the big stages included The Pretenders and Bryan Ferry (both did impressive shows!).

Yes, being on the Atlantic Coast, it does rain sporadically, and often.

One wears a poncho with a hood— and just goes with it, as the musicians play on. Hard to imagine a better setting. Will I return next year? Already planning on it—and continuing to work on improving my Spanish!

Realtor’s Corner

time a bit unconventionally. When I am not ‘working’, I love to start my day by taking a long walk with my dog. It’s great for mind and body and sets me up to be productive the entire day. I spend many hours volunteering at my daughter’s school. I also enjoy spending time with and vacationing with my family, hiking and dinners with close friends and family.

What is your most memorable transaction?

In the past, my husband and I have helped a few families get into home ownership by purchasing homes on their behalf, renovating the homes, and then ‘flipping’ the home to these families. These are memorable transactions to me since these families could not compete with all cash investors swooping up distressed inventory.

We were able to provide an opportunity to buyers who were finding it difficult to compete getting into a home. To this day I still get calls from these clients who appreciate the opportunity of what we did for them.

HELPING HAND Realtor Sheila Zart opens new doors for buyers from south Santa Clara county to Monterey county.

By DEBRA ESKINAZI

What drew you to real estate?

I had worked in Human Resources for about 10 years. Around that time my husband and I decided to start a family; so, I decided to jump off of the traditional corporate ladder. That eventually led me to real estate—teaming with my twin sister starting in 2001. In 2007, I obtained my broker’s license and I’ve been operating as an independent broker since. After working

in Human Resources for so many years, it was a natural progression getting into real estate. I pull from that experience and knowledge of working with people on a daily basis.

What do you do when you are not working?

Being in real estate, I think we are always ‘on-call’ and rarely never ‘not-working’. But, this business does allow for us to coordinate our

I feel the most beneficial thing I do is simply sitting down and explaining the buying and selling process to my clients. Many buyers and sellers don’t understand what an ‘escrow’ is or even a ‘contingency period’. Empowering my clients with knowledge of the buying and selling process before it starts makes everything go smoother, less-stressful, and seem a lot less daunting.
