Sonoma Film Festival

Posted on April 14, 2008

I had an opportunity to attend the Sonoma Film Festival yesterday.  It is always nice to watch something you worked so long and hard on in front of an audience.  Hearing the applause and comments from those in the theater is inspiring.

It has been quite a while since I’ve been to that part of California.  Even though I only live a little over an hour away, it’s hard to find time to go up there.  I’m glad I had the chance.  It was a warm and beautiful day and although I didn’t see many films, I had a wonderful time.

I’d like to thank the folks that put on the festival.  They are first class.  The volunteers were great, the filmmaker hospitality room was awesome.  They had great food and a 60 inch plasma to play Wii on!  The filmmaker gift bag was incredible.  First off, there was a bottle of wine, a squishy THX (the robot mascot guy) toy, gift card for Starbucks, some chocolate, and a free pair of tennis shoes (that retail for more than $250)!  I wasn’t expecting any of that.  Thanks so much to the festival and sponsors for being so gracious.

In the next couple of weeks I’ll be attending another local festival, this time the Santa Cruz Fest.  I can’t wait to do it all over again!
