Sunday at 7:45 p.m. was a sweet spot in the schedule; one of the two weekend nights and neither too early nor too late.
The FOCs (Friends of Computer) attended to lend their support to the movie during the screening were Eleanor, Luis, Jeffrey, Jeff, Paolina, Dawn, Marie and Justine.

Eleanor shows her enthusiasm for the Hollywood premiere of C:WotF.

Luis and Jeffery await the screening.
C:WotF screened about in the middle of the program - right after the premiere of the new R.E.M. video Hollow Man! (I was thinking to myself "Thanks for the spot following the new R.E.M. video -- now I'm like that poor bastard magician who had to follow The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show."). But my concern was for naught; the crowd was responsive to C:WotF and appeared to be having fun with the premise. While the laughs were not always as hearty as I wished for, they were there and I recievds an enthusiastic response from some audience members after the Q&A.

Jeff and Paolina arrive for the big screening.

After all the movies screened, there was a question and answer session with all the filmmakers present. I said a few things about the origin of the concept (Our Mr. Sun) and the premise (past prognostication versus future reality -- but stated in a far less pretentious way).

After the screening, all the "Computer Contingent" headed over Palermo's in Los Feliz for a post-screening celebration dinner.
Mmmmm... Italian food.
