One of Three Hundred Fifty

Look what I got the other day...
Dear Kathy,

Thank you for entering the competition for the 2014 Athens International Film and Video Festival. This year we had 1,171 films submitted.  I am pleased to tell you that your film,  "I Love Bagels", has been chosen for this year's festival. 

The entries for the "local" filmmakers were prescreened and judged by an outside prescreener, who thus has no potential conflict of interest regarding the entries.  

We'll be sending out later this week full information regarding screening formats, deadlines to receive exhibition copies, and other pertinent information.

Congratulations!

Sincerely,

Ruth Bradley, Director
Athens Int'l Film and Video Festival
Athens, Ohio
How about that...a real film festival.  I can check that one off the list.  
In case you missed all the other 'I Love Bagels' photos...




Couple little things ...
My classmate David was shooting his film a few weeks ago during some bad-ish weather.  He couldn't get his car started so he called AAA because that's the kind of thing you call AAA for.  They were sorry but they weren't 'going to be able to get to him today.'

Then the poor guy had an ambulance in his film.  He rented an ambulance and driver (seems weird but I guess you can do that) and it couldn't get up the hill to the location.



Until next month...
