I'm wrapping up a great time at the Action on Film Festival (AOF) in Pasadena, CA. My short Foreclosed (www.foreclosedthemovie.us ) had a great screening in front of a thriller called Bad Grace. The fest programmers definitely did their job in that combo.
The theater was about 3/4 full, the movie screen was about 30 feet talk (very big Carlo Fiorletta as the killer!) and the q&a afterwards was terrific. What made me even happier was when several women came up to me later and told me that the movie really resonated with them - such a great feeling.
I've seen a bunch of other good movies while I've been here - the quality gets better every year. Notable selections have been Pizza With Bullets (Talia Shire & Vincent Pastore), White Wall (had a great talk with the filmmakers at the Sunday brunch seminar), Ironsides (a fact-inspired drama about bullying and child abuse, which was better than it sounds when I write it that way), and the short Dragonfly.
All in all a good few days, which leaves me looking forward to the Indie Gathering in a few weeks.
