April 2: Full Frame World Premiere
Who would have thought that the screening of a documentary film could feel like a rock concert?!?? We just finished the screening of Shooting Beauty's World Premiere at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. The 1000 seat theater was packed-- mostly by students. After the screening, standing ovation and kids screaming & chanting "Tony, Tony, Tony" (one of the film subjects) as Tony and I walked out onto the stage. It was like being at a rock concert. The kids had to be kept back from jumping on the stage to have pictures taken with us. Who would have thought?!!! On to the next screening!!!
