… just back from eight days and nights in lovely Austin TX. Every (good) thing you’ve ever heard about the town or about the Austin Film Festival is absolutely true. The first half of the trip was an exhausting marathon of trying to cram in every panel, roundtable, screening and party I could into every day & evening. Once the “conference” part of the festival was over (on Monday) the last four days were spent just going to screenings and taking long walks all around Austin (ok, there were a few parties to attend as well.)
The change of scenery was probably good for my head and so much of what I saw and heard during the festival was exactly what I needed to recharge my batteries and get re-inspired. I can’t wait ’til next year.
