✖ I experienced my first film festival on March 21. I was a little overwhelmed at first, but slowly got use to the experience. A group of the INLA majors met up and headed to Cleveland early to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe. The atmosphere in Tower City was intense. There were shops set up in the mall so people could sell their things. This sort of reminded me of a flea market type set up. We saw the Festival Logo all over the mall. When the group of us finished lunch got to the box office, we were a half hour early to get our tickets to Bomber, but apparently that was not long enough. We had to get stand by tickets, but the movie was so popular that it filled up. The nice men working the lines let us sneak into Toe to Toe. The group of us had no idea what the movie was going to be about, but I believe we all enjoyed the film. I never realized how intense people are about the film fest and people go to it every year. A couple beside me in line said that they come up for the festival every year and it has become a tradition for the couple. It was a neat experience that I really enjoyed.I wouldn't mind doing it again.

I agree, Amanda! It was a lot of fun. Remember when we accidentally walked into the VIP room for film-makers? Woops! I think that it is a fun tradition. I'm very interested in the program that they have for students. I think the film fest is a neat thing to get students involved in.
ReplyDeleteI feel the film fest is an experience that all should try to enjoy. Even though we only saw one movie, I think the others must have been splendid as well. I would have liked to have seen some more if we had the time.
ReplyDeleteI was also impressed by the couple we were talking to about their tradition. I felt it was something you could have enjoyed for a date or even for class.
Hopefully we can all go next year. Let's not make us all get up early on a Sunday morning though!
It was definitely an awesome experience. I would love to take my students there as some kind of field trip when I'm teaching. I was so bummed I couldn't see Bomber too, it looked awesome.
ReplyDeleteI think I went to the film festival when it wasn't quite as busy. My dad and I got right in to the movie theater, and we didn't have to stand in line or anything.However, when we got out it was a little crowded because of the Cavs game
