This was a great lineup of films. In over 100 feedback film festival events, this was perhaps the best lineup ever. And that is a bold statement. But it’s 100% true.
Every single film received multiple votes for BEST FILM. Every single film would have won that award if it was presented at another festival.
The buzz in the cinema was terrific. We received so many positive reactions for the audience afterwards. It was simply but, a terrific night.
I came out of mini-retirement and moderated the event as well. It just happened to work out that way – and boy did the right festival night pick me.
So it was almost a perfect night. Almost! I continue to strive for the perfect festival. It hasn’t happened yet.
See you at the festivals.
