Festivals of Their Own

   I found this article to be very interesting. I have only personally been to one film festival, but I was swept up by it and I've been taken in by the atmosphere surrounding festivals, which was a big part of my decision to join Visions. It was very interesting to read about the formation of the major festivals, such as Cannes and Sundance. It was a chunk of history that I had never read about before. The most exciting part of the article was the section on underground festivals. It was cool to see Cucalorus on the list, and I'll admit to wasting a lot of time looking the others up on FilmFreeway while I was reading. to read about underground festivals always makes me excited about my own projects and ready to enter into as many as possible, and I'm excited to be participating on the other side with Visions5.
