Mr. Kenya Cagle. For his perseverance, stamina and drive, AOF has decided to recognize Mr. Kenya Cagle for his achievment in film. NO other film maker we have met has shown this kind of tenacity, drive, faith and positivity that Kenya possesses. We wish to acknowledge those traits in 2007 and every year thereafter with an award named after this fantastic individual who has proven time and time again that with faith and vision anything is possible.

The inaugural Kenya Cagel award will be give at the 2007 Black Tie Award Show and Dinner which will be held on Saturday, July 28th at the beautiful Long Beach Entertainment Center Grand Ballroom. Mr. Cagle joins Alan Bailey, Art Comacho, John Gilbert and Mark Mahon who have also had AOF awards named after them.

John Gilbert is one of those actors who brings the level of any production he is in up to a place it would not have been without him.  From big budget features to low budget and no budget independent films, John Gilbert is the man you call to get the job done.  He has been called the working man – version of Christopher Walken and for good reason. 

The AOF has named an award after John Gilbert and each year, the actor himself will choose which actor will receive it. Look for John Gilbert in a production coming soon, lots of productions coming soon.

Producer John Hogan has been working hard to make a difference in film.  With his media company, Mainline Artists he is presenting many filmmakers and producers with the opportunity to showcase their work to the world and to be paid for that work in the process.  John is a staunch supporter of the Action On Film Festival and he put his money where his mouth is.  You may not be able to say that about many people in Hollywood, but you can definitely say it about John Hogan.

One of the most prolific directors in Hollywood, Art Camacho is a staple with not only Action Films but with films of purpose and meaning.  In addition to his abilities as a stunt man and actor, this powerhouse writer/director has been able to make a successful career out of hard work, dedication, faith and perseverance.

Mr. Camacho also has one other distinction that most directors can not claim – he has put over 500 fresh faces on screen in his films giving many actors chances that they wound not have had without him.  Art Camacho is the man.
