What a nice mid week surprise!

We missed last year’s deadline, but I was informed today my short “Lady In My Life” will be part of the 2011 Kansas City FilmFest next month.  I will be back the first weekend in April to be part of this event, sponsored this year by AMC Theatres.  I’ve told this story to a friend of mine connected to the festival, but I remember vividly my father taking me to Oak Park Mall years ago to see ‘Boyz N Da Hood’.  So all of the real and symbolic meaning of bringing that experience full circle in my hometown – well, it means a lot to me.

I understand Elvis Mitchell is one of the featured guests this year, which only adds fuel to my film geek fire.  You can keep up with the festival and get more details in the coming weeks at http://www.filmfestkc.org.

Thanks in advance to my friends at AMC Independent (Gene) and Filmfest KC!  Should be a fun weekend, I’m looking forward to it!
