The festival - the second half
The festival has crossed into it's second half now. Most of Hollywood has left and it becomes a different festival. My guess is you won't see any additional images of Paris Hilton on Main Street at this year's event. Now it's much more about the films.
Tickets to screenings will be easier to come by from here on out. The crazed nature of things will boil down to a slow simmer with lots of bleary-eyed filmmakers and event volunteers roaming the venues in a haze.
Mark Poirier is back in Weston. But before he left, he emailed me to say the premiere of his film, "Smart People," was "amazing." The audience gave the film a standing ovation.
Wesleyan grad Isabel Vega got some great news Tuesday. Her film, "La Corona (The Crown)," has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Short Documentary!
We have an appointment to meet, so you should see video of her on this blog in the next couple of days.
Stay tuned....
