Biggest highlight:The Oxford Film festival. What an AMAZING weekend. This was my first time being IN a film festival. I had my "director" pass for all the events. I arrived to pick up my VIP pass, and the girl at the table asked me which one I had. I rather meekly said "Director" and began to receive a lot of attention-hah! I guess even art students get a little recognition every now and then ;)

I felt like a proud parent when I saw a clipping from my video, "Flutter" was used in the mail trailer of the event. I got my first rush of adrenaline. Flutter screened two days later on Saturday in the experimental category, and it was really a learning experience as much as a good time. I got to do a Q&A afterwards, and of course see tons of great films, and meet some big time filmmakers, in addition to a couple of fellow "experimental" filmmakers!
