\nLOS ANGELES (Fri. Mar. 12, 2010) \u2014 \u201cFocal Lengths: The Making of \u2018Connectivity,\u2019\u201d an \u201cAccess Hollywood\u201d-style feature segment produced by television producer-turned-cinematographer and onetime cameraman for The Hollywood Reporter\u2019s cable coverage of celebrity arrivals at movie premieres Pete Brown and co-produced by former associate international editor of The Hollywood Reporter Scotty Dugan, has been nominated for Best Behind-the-Scenes documentary in the 168 Film Festival (www.168project.com), it was announced today by John David Ware, founder of the timed competition.
\nThe \u201cmaking-of\u201d-format entry in the eight-year-old faith-based project \u2014 whereby nearly 100 teams
\nfrom around the world had one week (or 168 hours) in February to shoot, edit and score a short film based on randomly assigned Bible verses \u2014 concentrates on the actual film its DP Brown, former producer at CA\/AZ\/NV TV25 and a camera operator on the first film shot on the RED camera ever to win a festival (\u201cStained\u201d) and journalist-turned-publicist-turned-filmmaker Dugan helped make for the 168, the marital drama \u201cConnectivity\u201d about a husband on the verge of his own Jesse James\/Sandra Bullock moment.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s rare even at the studio level that both a film and its documentary perform to equivalent effect,\u201d
\nsaid \u201cConnectivity\u201d director-producer Elena Beuca, whose team scored nominations for Best Actress,
\nSupporting Actress and Original Score by judges including \u201cX-Men\u201d producer Ralph Winter and \u201cTouched by an Angel\u201d writer-producer Brian Bird. \u201cBut since the 168 introduced the BTS category a few years ago, guys like Pete and Scotty have upped the entertainment quotient to what the 168 offers.\u201d
\nThe pair\u2019s doc, which unspools Sat. Mar. 27 at 10 a.m. at the Alex Theater in Glendale, CA, was a
\nlark Brown pursued on the chance he might have a few days after post on \u201cConnectivity\u201d to package an entertaining look at the oft-painful process such competitions as the 168 and the 48-Hour Film Festival engender. Once A-list camera operator Ron Vidor (\u201cJaws,\u201d \u201cLethal Weapon\u201d) joined the crew with Steadicam in tow for a hospital E.R. scene Beuca and writer-actor-husband Dave Rogers incorporated into the story, Brown suspected he had as compelling a BTS as the film was an entry.<\/p>\n

Brown, whom Beuca elevated to producer after marveling at not just the ex-Mohave Community
\nCollege film instructor\u2019s reel but his contacts and work ethic, conscripted Dugan, who, as a former
\npersonality at K-ORANGE radio in Orange County and TV anchor in Boston, suggested the BTS \u201cgo EPK contemporary,\u201d Brown recalled Dugan as saying, with real in-studio interviews. The two quickly landed editor Wilson Stiner, \u201cwhose emphasis on thru-line helped the show find its narrative voice,\u201d Brown said.
