Cucalorus responce

This years Cucalorus was an amazing one. Beyond the usual plethora of good movies, there were plenty of just plan fun events and shows going on that we both good and interesting. Obviously, Enter The Void was a hot topic, and a movie I loved and could go on for hours about, but I was a little disappointed with many peoples response to the movie. Even the people that enjoyed it couldn't exactly say why. But virtually everyone there was willing to talk about their movie going experiences in a fun and academic way if you asked them about it. Other favorites of mine included Dolphin Glide, The Red Chapel, Girl Model, and the animation block by John Dilworth. All the parties were very fun and I loved seeing all my old friends and meeting a ton of new people (especially the filmmakers). Everyone there is so nice and friendly and willing to get drunk and have a lot of fun. It was really one of the funnest weekends of my life and, now that its over, the depression sinks in. It feels like a lost love or a breakup. Like I've truly lost something, and I cannot wait till next year. To my, at heart, all anyone wants to do is return to childhood, to play and Cucalorus is one of the best outlets and areas for this. I've rekindled so many friendships and met so many great people that I hope to stay in touch with. More than that, it's really put an energy in me to start making films. To make a simple independent project, it can cost maybe $100. If you submit it to a few film festivals, where a full pass can cost up to $300, and get in, you've already made your money back. And if you get into more then one, you basically get a free vacation to travel, see and talk about amazing films, and get drunk with some of the best, most beautiful people on the planet. I also really want to use the visions class as a jumping off point. I want to see if there's a realistic option for being involved in film festivals, especially Cucalorus in the future. I fucking love this.
