The inaugural Anaheim International Film Festival opening night was OUTSTANDING.

I just got in from attending this evening's activities and while exhausted from a long day today and with an early call tomorrow morning, but it would be negligent of me not to tell you how outstanding this festival is and urge you to attend one or more movies over the next few days.  It is being held at the Garden Walk in Anaheim (link).and continues through Sunday the 17th.

The festival was well thought out by people who obviously have a passion for film.  They arranged for experienced festival operators to help them set it up correctly (I met some people from the Temecula and San Diego festivals). 

From the red carpet to the after party, you'd have thought they've been doing this for years.  I suspect they will be around for a long time and would not be surprised if they become one of the "must attend" festivals.

I will write additional information about the festival in the next day or two but for now - IT'S A HIT!  Congratulations to Sinan Kanasiz and the other founders. 

Go, you'll have a good - no, a great time.
