A while back I was honored to be voted one of the best local filmmakers in Western North Carolina by the readers of the Mountain Express. I actually tied for Second! This was news to me, since I hadn't told anyone to vote for me and it's all done by write-in. In fact I forgot to vote myself. So I don't know who put me down as one of the best filmmakers around, but I want to send them a big thank you!
Also just to update you on the film festival saga. I recently received a very nice rejection from the Atlanta International Film Festival. The cool thing about that festival is that they were sending regular updates to all the filmmakers that had entered so that we all knew how the selection process was going. They also sent some really great tips and resources out to filmmakers. So while I didn't make it in, I have to say the experience was still a good one. I'm 1 for 3 so far. Down to just 3 more festivals.
