“We are trying to take

represent,” said Hall. “If
you want shoot-’em-ups
and vulgar slapstick, the
multiplex can keep you
busy. But if you want films
that challenge and provoke
your intellect, and
which dare to look and
sound different from the
Hollywood cookie cutter
machinery, then this event
is for you.”
The filmmakers agree
the festival is important
for the region.

Denise Ruzicka, the
director of Bureau of
Water Protection and
Land Reuse said the
establishment of the three
workgroups serves as a
“logical next step” to
address the issue of phosphorus
levels.
“We can come up
with a collaborative
approach that comes from
both sides of the equation,”
Ruzicka said.

“Connecticut needs something
like this festival
because Nutmeggers are
wonderful patrons of the
arts. There’s no better way
for people to come together
than sitting in a theater
watching films together
and discussing them afterwards.”
“Film festivals play a
vital part in the growth
and awareness of independent
films,” said
Stephen. “Without ‘marquee’
names above and
below the line, it’s an
extremely difficult process
getting your film seen and
for that matter even taken
seriously. Film festivals
help with all of that. But

Ruzicka presented an
overview of each workgroup
and its desired
goals. The first workgroup
serves as a state-wide
response to phosphorus
nonpoint source solution,
according to Ruzicka.
The second workgroup
evaluates and
quantifies the role of
phosphorus in stream

phosphorus reductions
as needed.
The third workgroup
will develop a technology
assessment of new stateof-the-art
resources to
find possible treatments
of phosphorus reductions.
Calling the establishment
of these workgroups
a “huge step,” Brumback
said working with other
local communities and
DEEP will “yield better
results” altogether.
“It means a lot,”
Brumback said. “We are
embarking upon a new
way of doing business
that takes into consideration
all aspects of the
decision-making process.”
Throughout the decision-making
process, the
Coordinating Committee
will also communicate
with EPA, and will hold
quarterly meetings with
the co-chairs of each
workgroup.
According to
McCleary, each co-chair is
responsible for schedules,
organization and meeting
agendas.
“I am excited to move
this process forward,”
McCleary said during the
meeting. “I think we can
continue to provide a
model for the nation.”
