Bruce Willis to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award at Sonoma International Film Festival Tonight

MEDIA ALERT:

(April 4, 2009 Sonoma, Calif.)

What: 12th Annual Sonoma International Film Festival, an extraordinary line-up packed with independent films, high-level panel discussions and director events, will kick off a year long program that will be tribute to all things Sonoma and a feast for the senses.

Why: To honor actor and musician Bruce Willis with Sonoma International Film Festival's first ever Lifetime Achievement Award. Bruce Willis will be accompanied by his new wife, model Emma Heming. Grammy Award winning recording artist Aimee Mann will moderate the Lifetime Achievement Award Tribute for Bruce Willis. Ms. Mann is a highly regarded singer, songwriter and mischievous prankster, a trait shared with and admired by Mr. Willis.

Where/When:
6:30pm Tribute

Sonoma Veterans Hall 126 1st Street West, Sonoma, Calif.
(Broadcast set up can start after 4:30 p.m.)

8:00 p.m. Gala Jacuzzi Winery 24724 Arnold Drive/Highway 121, Sonoma, Calif.

Visual: The Tribute will include a video montage designed to showcase the many transitions throughout Mr. Willis's career from television to Broadway, independent films, and the big screen. Mr. Willis's forays into directing and playing music will also be represented in the montage.

The audience will have the opportunity to participate during the tribute with a live question and answer session. Ms. Mann will be on stage reading the questions or, if an audience member isn't too shy, they can read their own question at the microphone. Following the tribute, there will be a star-studded gala at the Jacuzzi Winery and performance by Rich Little and Friends.
