anaheim film festivalGET YOUR BUTTS OVER TO THE AIFF AT GARDEN WALK - JUST 2 DAYS LEFT.

This evening I viewed 7 spectacularly professional shorts.  Most were from domestic sources and at least one with sub-titles (someplace European I think).  Every short kept the audience fully engaged - the likes of which I have not seen before - what a pleasure to witness. 

As a producer I would have been proud to have my name associated with any of them.  The theme was CUPID and each script was clever, I dare say exceptional, with only one being somewhat predictable - what a creative treat.  There are at least two more series of shorts before the festival is over and I suggest it is really worth an hour or so of your time.  Use that as a warmup before you go to one of the very fine feature length movies. 

 

I highly recommend  "Under The Boardwalk:  The Monopoly Story" a fascinating movie about the game everyone grew up with.  It screens again at 7:00 PM on under the boardwalkSunday.  There are plenty of others to chose from. 

Once again, compliments need to go to the organizers for having put so much time into selecting these gems out of the sea of submissions they received.  I'm planning on going back at least once more.   And the staff, at all levels, are just great.  It is obvious they love what they are doing and are committed to having all guests have a great experience.

DON'T FORGET TO GET YOUR PARKING TICKET VALIDATED AT THE TICKET COUNTER.  It will save you a bundle.
