Sweet

Our director/writer, Al Lewis, during the Q&A post-screening

Cheese factory.

Even cheesier.

The screening was a success!  It was a packed house - standing room only - and we opened the evening with a bang (which is even funnier to those that know what happens at the end).  The audience really seemed to enjoy our little film - there were big laughs in all the right places and laughs I wasn't expecting in other places.  It was even more fun to watch with an audience than I anticipated.  The rest of the films were well done and overall it was an entertaining evening.  There was a red carpet so as soon as I track down those pictures, I'll share them with you.  Oh! And randomly, there were two separate groups of people that I know from other places that were there to see other films.  This town is getting pretty tiny.  One funny tidbit of the night:  My co-star and I were waiting our turn on the red carpet at the reception after the screening and these people stop us and ask excitedly, "Oh! Are you a real couple in real life?"  We laughed and told her no and they were disappointed because they were rooting for us in the film - we play an estranged couple that two cupids are trying to bring back together.  Well, I took that as a testament to our performances!  These same people went on to tell us that, shhh, our film was their favorite.  "Shhhh" because they were there to support someone else's film.

Yep. I need to hurry up and get in another film so I can continue this film festival fun.  I could get used to it.
