His movie, about a scrappy 16-year-old dying of cancer who befriends a funeral director, was voted audience favorite — and he plans to return and make his next indie movie here, he said.

About 45 to 50 filmmakers attended — some with spouses and even children. Princess Bride star Chris Sarandon’s wife, actress Joanna Gleason, was camouflaged in large glasses and a headscarf.
The festival screened 80+ features and short films in five theaters over two days. With 19 headlining or feature movies and 11 “blocks” of shorts, there were 30 events, plus the screenwriters panel talk.... …
Trust Jessica Levandoski, the Film Festival’s programming director, whose taste and indie movie connections again brought in a remarkable, fine line-up of films.
...
Screenings were added on the fly for popular titles like Getting Grace — the eventual “Best of the Fest” people’s choice winner...
"Like the POSTMAN...", ...ha ha ha...It's great to see a film that's getting so much creative attention, support, is in a great genre, making it a family-friendly film (no cursing, violence, abuse, & the like), & is proudly on display & promoted by the creator: Not to mention an AWARD WINNER!!
That should bode well for Redbox, Netflix, Target, WalMart, Hulu, & TV distribution...& post-Theatrical Release SALES!
Going to be interesting to see how it does: Watching.
LOVING VINCENT Quote: *Fun Facts: 125 painting animators worked on LOVING VINCENT to create 65,000 frames of the film on canvas. 5000 artists applied to work on LOVING VINCENT. Selected painting animators had to successfully complete a 180 hour training program to then start work. 12 frames of individual oil paintings make up each second of LOVING VINCENT, with 65,000 paintings forming the entire film. The opening shot of the film, descending through Van Gogh’s The Starry Night, contains over 600 paintings and took three painters a combined total of 14 months to paint.
