So tonight I to the San Antonio Local Film Festival. For the most part it was a beauty contest for films, but over all it wasn’t to bad. The top 3 winners deserved to be in the top 3. However I think Bryan Ortiz film should of won top billing. I kind of seemed like a cross between Cloverfield and The Happening, but with it sucking. There were only two films I could of done without Reve and Hope. Reve was suppose to be a horror movie. The only thing it had going for it is that it was very pretty and was edited very well. Sadly it was all style and no substance.
Then there was Hope. Hope was nothing more than a 5 minute Obama ad brought to you by Will Shipley. Personally I have an issue with blatant agenda pushing in my entertainment. I felt it had no place being screened at SAL, it wasn’t a film. And for the record I’m not a McCain supporter. Agenda pushing just annoys the shit out of me! You want to make a political piece, go to Jib Jab and get a clue. Now that’s entertainment! Okay, political rant over.
The intermission was nice. I got a chance to catch up with some people I haven’t seen in awhile. Mister Pete, Carlos Pina, Mark Morga, Nikki Young (who was looking rather hot I might add), as well many others. I also had a chance to meet Bryan Ortiz’s mother. She was very friendly. I left after the intermission. Tomorrow is another shooting day for 1-800-Tech-Support and I need to get some rest. Sadly I had to miss out on Organ Trail and Carlos’s film Blood Rivals. Ugh time for some sleep.
