Very cool video and a great post to go along with it. I have been a huge fan of your blog for a while now, and I just wanted to take the time to share with you a cool event that I couldn’t seem to find an applicable post to comment on for…but here it is!
The Jules Verne Festival is hosting a screening of the original “True Grit” in order to pay tribute to John Wayne on November 10th. It is going to be a really cool event, and I thought that since you are interested in film and the industry in general, that this would be a great (and fun!) event for you to attend!
If you are interested, here is a convenient link to the tickets: http://www.julesverne.org/index.php
Let me know if you plan on going!!
Hope to see you there,
