Man, if I hit the lottery one day, film festivals will be all I do for a year straight.
Marisa says:
Wow, that seems like a lot. Make sure to take some asprin and a seat cushion. Also, you may need that self-tanning stuff to spruce up later.

I’ll be at Bad Education and The Alzheimer Case. I’m only doing ten films this year. Have fun. And let’s compare reviews!
