being the sole "other" must attend film festival
in the US, perfectly balancing out the winter mountainous Sundance."

"One of the best organized, best functioning
film festivals I've ever been at. At the same time,
on a more important level, there's a warmth,
there's a friendliness, and there's
a love of film that I truly appreciate."
