FLEX II

flex was a success! i just wanted to say that because it almost rhymes. but yes it is over. what a festival. i think Roger Beebe and the flexies put on a great festival! i had a great time overall hanging out with other filmmakers and being put up for a weeekend. at times maybe a little "festival blues" (as Katja called it) i think mostly being so much younger and less accomplished than the other filmmakers may have played a part in my comfort level.... BUT i learned so much and so inspired by many amzing films from all over the world... including 8 from iowa! go iowa! everyone was really impressed with the work coming out of iowa too... i also did my part in talking up our program.
filmmakers to keep the eyes open for:
Ben Russell
Peter Tscherkassy
Katja Straub
Louise Bourque
Lille Carre
Michael Robinson
oh jeez and many more!

fun gainesville things: alligator hunting, drive in mexican restaurants, Video Rodeo, The Hippodrome, The top, the 2nd street bakery, a downtown arts festival, an X rated Alice in Wonderland play(nudity and profanity)....
fun stuff
