Well . . . it sure was fun to see Haynes and Matt and Camilla and Nathan and Don and Kitty! That ROCKED! They came to the screening, and then The DG guys and I went out to dinner at a fabulous British Restaurant and I had a chocolate souffle to die for. That was the wonderful part.
However, it was 90 - some degrees outside, and the screening started 40 minutes late and then started without sound, so they had to re-play the first 3 minutes again, which was not my favorite thing in the world, and then because the whole schedule was so late, the movie after us with its crowd of excited folks came into the lobby and talked very loudly over my very-quiet movie. And the industry guys who were sposed to come of course didn't, which worked out okay because if the very-late start, actually.
These things happen. Poor film festival gals and guys, they are working so hard, and this is such a great festival, sometimes these glitches happen, what cha gonna do?
I got a great interview with Leslie La Page, founder of the Festival, for my documentary, and of course interviews with Matt, Nathan, and Camille at the Vancil house later, which was a blast. And we watched a silly Cartoon Network show for hours, which was just my speed after a long day.
Slow morning today. Bout to start watching films and then party tonight, seminars tomorrow and awards dinner tomorrow (Sunday) night. Win or lose, that is a wonderful, exciting spectacle here, if it is like last time.
Fingers crossed!
