Better late than never, I suppose

I'm feeling a little embarrassed at not having posted anything since February. I got caught up in the cinematic tempest that is RIIFF. But now that things have quieted down with the festival, I will have oodles of time on my hand to blog, blog, blog. There is much to report- this year's festival was the best so far! We had great publicity, films, and crowds. I actually had time this year to sit in on a couple of films and to meet with some of our visiting filmmakers. So keep your eyes peeled for film reviews- there were a couple of flicks that really stuck in my head. I also had an opportunity to attend a film screening up in Boston of a prominent Taiwanese director. I won't reveal his name just yet, but he was wearing James Dean suspenders. We chatted briefly, if you can call it chatting: he doesn't speak English and I don't speak Mandarin. Luckily, one of the other partygoers was kind enough to translate for us.

And finally, the biggest news of all! In four weeks I get hitched. It's off to the Pocono Mountains, the fabled honeymoon playground of champagne flute hot tubs, to tie the knot. I'm can't tell you how excited I am. I'll be sure to post a few photos from the wedding.

Hi Lidia,

Thanks! It was great meeting you and Gary, I hope you guys have a chance to come back to visit us. We had some really cool filmmakers this year at RIIFF. I can't believe I only have one more week to go before the wedding...it seems like it should still be a year away. I'll definately post some pics from the Pocs. Talk soon!
