THAT’S A WRAP! All 16 teams make their FilmFrenzy entry tcompton@rentonreporter.com

If you saw people running around with cameras filming all over Renton last weekend, then you witnessed parts of the city’s 50-hour filmmaking competition, the Renton FilmFrenzy. Veterans of the competition, now in its fourth year, Chris (Bob) Anderson and Sam Graydon set out to capture yet another win Saturday morning filming at Graydon’s house, Liberty Park in the afternoon and the Piazza late in the day. The two won first place in the Open Divi-

sion in 2008, second place in 2009 and won again in 2010. “It’s going to be super awesome and super funny; that’s about all I’m going to give you,” said Anderson of their entry for this year. “I kinda just want people to watch it for the first time without knowing anything about it.” After Anderson and Graydon, as well as 15 other teams, were emailed requirements for this year’s competition on Oct. 7 at 5 p.m., the two didn’t stay up late working on the details for the four-minute film.

Saturday morning at 10 a.m. This year films had to incorporate a line about aerospace in Renton, a piece of public art and a scene from the Harvest Festival, which was taking place in the Piazza on Saturday. The Anderson/Graydon team includes actors Tonya M. Yorke, Rick Walters, Tom Ricciardelli and camera operator Ellen Callaghan. All three of the actors have worked in productions before and had good things to say about the talent of Anderson and Graydon. The team did take after take, stopping to huddle around the camera and watch the playback. They smiled at each other when they saw something they liked.

About 1.1 million voters will receive ballots for the Nov. 8 general election late next week. The King County Elections Division is mailing the ballots next Wednesday in the all-mail election. The county also will mail voter pamphlets to all residential addresses next week. As usual, the ballots must be postmarked no later than Tuesday, Nov. 8. There will be drop-off locations, including at the elections headquarters in Renton, to turn in ballots by 8 p.m. King County residents who are not registered to vote in Washington can register in person at the elections office in Renton through Oct. 31 so they can vote in the Nov. 8 election. The elections office is at 919. S.W. Grady Way. The general election ballot will have several key races for Renton voters. Three City Council positions are contested and there’s an open position on the Public Hospital District No. 1 Board of Commissioners that’s up for grabs. Mayor Denis Law is running unopposed for his second term.
