Fantastic Fest 2010

So my second Fantastic Fest experience has come and gone. Even though I've only gone to two of them, I find myself nostalgic at the end of them already, like I have been going for years and years. I think I have to say that it is seriously THE best week of the year here in Austin, TX. I get to be one of the few that volunteer and meeting other volunteers, attendees, and all of the actual filmmakers is such an awesome experience. I've made new friends both years, and am looking forward to next year already!
I gotta give a special shout-out to some of the filmmakers and actors I met this year for putting up with my "stalking." My volunteer job this year was to make sure the filmmakers I was handling got into the movie and back for the Q&A on time, so I had to pretty much be with them at all times during a 2-3 hour time span. And then sometimes they'd still want to hang after their movie was over! I gotta say all of them were absolutely amazing and I hope that I made their experience as fantastic as they made mine!
So here goes my shoutouts!
The Dead: The Ford Brothers, Jonathan & Howard Ford

A Horrible Way to Die: AJ Bowen, Simon Barrett and the rest of the crew

The Violent Kind: Mitch Altieri, Phil Flores, Don Lewis and Mitch's lovely lady, Ashley

Rare Exports: Juuso Helander
