MY MICROCINEMAFEST EXPERIENCE

Had a good time in Chicago this past weekend at Microcinemafest. Saw some great flicks and met some great people. It's inspiring to see the amazing work that people are creating with limited budgets and resources. I highly recommend Memories of Tomorrow and Streets of Wonderland .



The Coming To My Senses screening and Q&A went well, although due to my "technological retardation" I was unable to answer some of the tech-related questions. Something about staying in a hotel always inspires me to write. While I was gone I got a chance to work a little bit on two scripts I've been writing: PDA (a short) and anyone but who i am (a feature). But more on those much later. I've got a documentary to finish!

How did the crowd like the film? Did they have any comments about it?

They did like the film. It didn't win any awards, but there was some stiff competition. All of the films were great and I was happy to be included. Coming To My Senses was the only adaptation so I received a question about that during the Q&A ("How was the film different than Carolyn's original short story?") and spoke with several others afterward about changes made, how I acquired the rights, etc, etc...
