Milwaukee Film Festival

What a weekend... I was privileged to be invited up to Milwaukee to take part in a weekend of screenings of Make Believe for the Milwaukee Film Festival.  MB is up for another audience award, so if you go to see it, make sure to vote for it :-).

The people that worked the Milwaukee Festival are incredible.  Every person treated Derek, Krystyn, and I like we were Kings (or Queen).  We were chauffeured to the theaters, and were put up in a gorgeous hotel.  The first night, we were in a suburb of Milwaukee, at the Marcus North Shore Cinema.  It was a fantastic turnout of about 350 people.  Sunday, the movie was screened in the Milwaukee Oriental Theater.  Talk about gorgeous!  The room had 1,100 seats, and an organ.  The art was incredible, the screen was huge, the sound system was fantastic... All in all, I liked the Oriental Theater.

I was caught in a candid moment during my "6 months later" bit.  One of the festival workers noticed that I was standing in a perfect spot, and snapped a great picture.

I can't thank the festival workers enough for their hard work, and I can't thank the people of Milwaukee who came out to support Make Believe.  It means the world to all of us involved that you came out to see it, and we hope sincerely that you loved it as much as we do.

Until next time-
-Bill
