More AFI Dallas
I'm sitting at the Sarasota airport, getting ready to head back to Texas. More on this festival soon, but first a recap of AFI Dallas. We went out on a high note, winning the Grand Jury Prize in the Texas Competition. It was a pretty swell surprise. Walking up to accept it reminded me a little bit of the first time I went bungee jumping.
And now for some pictures!
The last picture there was taken in the green room, moments after the winners' photographs were taken. Depicted here, from left to right: John Wildman preparing a press release on the awards, programmer Sarah Harris realizing that the festival is actually almost over, and James Toback himself, beckoning his assistant. Speaking of which, I can't believe I've missed Tyson twice now.
In any case, a huge thanks to James and Sarah and everyone else at AFI for showcasing our film, and to everyone at MPS Studios for furnishing our coffers with such a generous prize.
My plane is now boarding. Away I go.
