WOOO HOOO!! LA Film Festival here I come!

I'm so stoked! I'm going to the LA film festival this weekend. I'm basically going to watch like 12 hours straight of artsy fartsy flicks.

Sorry, I know it's nerdy but I'm really excited. This is how I'd guess a normal person feels when they're about to go to their favorite band's concert.

Never been into concerts myself, but short films? I'm there, daddy!

Anyone else going?

family guy independent film

Be prepared for 12 hours of that.

I hate shorts. Such a waste of time. I prefer watching full length. Is it expensive? Do they have foreign films? I've really been getting into Asian cinema this passed year.

i would go to a film festival that had good movies in it. this is akin to amateur night at a comedy club. you might see some potential but even then, it will most likely be raw and unpolished.

Well I went. The shorts were ok. I saw a really interesting documentary called Hafner's Paradise, about an 83 year old former Nazi under Hitler.

Also there was a cool flick called Mirageman. Kinda like an Argentinian Ong Bak.

The festival is going on til the end of June if you still wanna check it out.

I went to it a couple of years ago and saw The Foot Fist Way. Im not sure how other festivals are but the parking is horrible for LA's

+1 for the amateur night comment although I did see Infernal Affairs one year so I guess i am 1/2. In general I think foreign films are a safer bet than domestic ones at film festivals.

Make sure to check out Anvil! The Story of Anvil. It looks very interesting.
