But it is really okay; I have not lost one drip of sleep thinking about it. In the most honesty I have conjured up ever, I was so happy just to have been selected to screen at such a major festing right in the heart of Hollywood with so may other excellent films, winning was not everything.
The awards gala, held on the closing night of the festival, Friday, July 31 (2009) at CineSpace on Hollywood Boulevard was a blast. The majority of the winning films were screened -- The filmmakers made acceptance speeches, the audience cheered and applauded, and I had a Bud Light. (Those of you who know me, know I don't drink. However, when the President of the the United States drank the King of Beers, I was inspired. And now, I'm up to sixer a day. Not bad for a guy who, at this time last week, was a teetotaler!)
I was rather sad at the end of the night, realizing that the LA Shorts Fest was over. I really enjoyed my time at the Laemmle Sunset 5 cinemas watching the movies. I had a magical night the Sunday evening my movie screened -- having the company of all my dear friends during the program and celebrating at dinner afterwards. It's going to be a tough act to follow let alone top. But that's all the more reason to get going n my next movie for next year's festival.
