[Discuss MovieFest] It's Screenings Weekend... The MovieFest Regional Finals

[Cassandra Burton-Wood]

Cant make it 2 regional screening thingy. Yeah ours was 'no name' hehe. The
weather the week we had film was real stink, and because we didn't have a
sound stage handy (hehe) it was the best we could do! Thanx for your help, i
will probably make it to the september screening with the rest of my crew.
hope to see you there
