Enough of your morning and night cheese! This a serious thread with serious things to be discussed. Especially about me.
The Marina Del Rey Festival has this impossible announcement and release schedule. They notify on Oct 1 and the festival starts on Oct 2. Which is impossible. How do they get the word out? How do they get materials to them in time? They were originally going to have the festival in July but Pandemic. They pushed it to October so they could figure out to do the festival.
Over the weekend, I noticed on the Twitter that films were being announced for the festival. Aha, I say to myself films are being selected. I tweeted out asking Marina Del Rey FF if they had made their announcements for all the films yet.
The Film Director just called me to say they weren't like a lot of other festivals that just pressed a button to signal to all the entrants who had been selected. The MDR FF took the time to personally call people to tell them they were part of the festival. And further, the Festival director was calling me to see if I would like to be part of the festival, too. I said yes. We then talked about the movie for fifteen minutes or so. He was very complimentary and excited about the film.
The upshot. It was a surprise validation day. Stro is going to Marina Del Rey!

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
