"SoCal Snowy Owl" debuts at Newport Beach Film Festival Oct. 18th. It's a short documentary film that has been chosen out of hundreds of films and premieres at the The Newport Beach Film Festival. The ORI's Denver Holt had the opportunity to co-produce this documentary short film with a super talented group of film-makers through Blue Rider Pictures (www.blueriderpictures.com).
