It was a great experience. There is a fantastic vibe when people gather with something in common. MovieMakers/Filmmakers and those who love Film/Movies came together to watch projects that exemplify the spirit of independent film making.
Hollywood is alive in Milwaukee, WI. Scotty O. and I have enjoyed participating in the festival. We met many new people. Conversation focused on Movies/Film, TV, Video Production and much more were abound. It truly was an adventure.
While it took place in OK, it made me realize that Hollywood is very much a part of Wisconsin. The 99% Wisconsin based cast and crew that worked on Onlyness should be proud. Their work was a standout among the festival's screenings. I have had the pleasure of working with each and every one of you... I am WI proud and waxed lyrically about them to all who we had met (Waxed lyrically = spoke of in high regard -- just always wanted to use the above in context).
In fact, I am building the sign below in my backyard! JK
Pictured here are Nancy Apple and Nate Rulf... Two filmmakers we hung with while taking in one of Muskogee's down-home bands at Jasper's Bar. Check out the B-side link on our website http://www.onlyness.com/ and look for Nancy's and Nate's work. They are cutting edge.
I will post more pictures and videos when I get a chance. I leave you with a picture of Scotty O. Is that a Miller Lite he's drinking. Kinda! See... in OK you can't get beer. You get near beer (only 3.2 % alcohol compared to the 6-point stuff we get).
The good news was that the vodka was excellent!
