We get the chance to sit down with newcomer and first time filmmaker Robb Connolly. His short Our Neck of The Woods premiered at Sundance this year and is now touring the film festival circuit. Wonderfully shot, great narrative, and fantastic editing, Robb explains his film, the work it takes and playing festivals.

What a day! All three screens at the FLORIDA FILM FESTIVAL was screening 6 films from 11:30am to 1:30am. We had a busy day today, grabbing some filmmakers today from the Shorts Program: “Wrongs of Passions” for interviews. Alicia Conway, FFF alum, has her much talked about Sundance hit Rite and the laugh out loud, yet tragic tale of a ex-husband, and re-incarnated as a parrot in Jealous Husband Returns by Paul Seetachitt.   

Ken Russell had a SOLD OUT screening of Crimes of Passion, in which screenwriter and producer Barry Sandler moderated the Q&A. A huge “thank you” to Ken and taking he time to fly out here and to accept your award from the FFF. Some amazing attendance at the festival, a lot of response in the Narrative Features, FINALLY! 

After doing some intro’s (thanks FFF) for The Burning Plain, EM and True Adolescents, it was time to split, get some sleep, and see you in the morning. I will taking pictures tomorrow, i promise. 

NIGHT!
