Announcing Our 2008 Honoree: Steve Guttenberg!
We are pleased to be presenting this year's Tony Randall Lifetime Achievement Award to Steve Guttenberg!

"Sometimes an actor plays a character, and on a few occasions, an actor truly becomes the character. That’s what Steve did in Diner. His ability to extract the humor simultaneously with its dramatic undertones was at the heart of Diner’s success. He’s an outstanding actor, underrated in my opinion. He also happens to be a genuinely nice guy. In fact, so nice, you keep thinking this can’t be possible. There must be something wrong with him. But in the 25 plus years that I have known him, if this nice guy is just an act, it’s a hell of a convincing one. Congratulations Steve.”  - Barry Levinson

THE 2007 FESTIVAL

The Board would like to thank everyone for making the 2007 Golden Wagon Film Festival a success. We came back strong from the rain-out on Friday. Events on Saturday and Sunday were full of people and overlooked by beautiful skies. There was an overwhelmingly positive response to all the films on Saturday, and a sold out crowd enjoyed an impressive slate of children’s films at the popular Red Wagon KidsFilmFest on Sunday. Wine Tasting on the Pier topped last year’s event with an extended selection of wines and double the attendance.  

Photos from the 2007 festival have been posted online! Click here to check out some great moments from the weekend.

We now have video posted! Watch highlights and honoree retrospectives from past festivals. Click here to watch.

Our entire selection of Golden Wagon Gear is now on sale! T-shirts are only $5. Towels, Beach balls, Caps, and Sandals are all greatly reduced too. To visit our online store, click here.
