The Atlanta Film Festival was the first one to give me a chance to cover it as a member of the press. I will always be grateful for that, and even when things might get dicey with my schedule, I will make it a point to try and go there every year, and see what they have to offer.

I had just joined SCI, and had already submitted pieces to one or two festivals to be considered (neither were accepted). I was appreciative of the […]
Hello fans and friends. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had occasion to write one of these. That doesn’t necessarily mean that I’ve not been busy- just that I haven’t had enough to justify a post per se. As you’ll soon learn, there is a lot to discuss.
