I went to the Midwest Independent Film Festival this week. It’s the first Tuesday of every month. This was my first time. When you walk into the Century Mall you are immediately greeted by hosts who then proceed to point you in the right direction.You sign in at the Century Centre Cinema and are welcomed by more festival ambassadors and invited to a cocktail party before the film. The pre-party is set up with lots of industry info and various groups sharing events, products and the latest in film technology. Before the film Festival Director Michael Macnamara welcomed everyone (just in case you weren’t feeling welcomed enough) and introduced a panel that discussed industry- related business. They then screened the very cool music video VILLAN by Logan Hall of Optimus. Then we watched a great documentary SADERMANIA by two amazing film makers Adam Gacka and Paul Matian, This film was so engaging and true to itself. It was told in such a way that you were pulled into the story and happily went along for the ride. After the film they had Q&A and as if that weren’t enough…everyone was invited to a nearby restaurant Forno Diablo for a great meal and a post-show-schmooze reception. Wow what a night! Join this group, check out upcoming events, you don’t want to miss the chance to be a part of this experience. http://www.midwestfilm.org

Host, Michael Wexler “Chicago After Midnight”
Day 2. 2 more shows. This time I feel like I get it. I understand what it takes to make the interview banter seem real and still on point. It was cool working with the directors prior and developing the scripts and the hosts persona.I feel like each of the 4 shows stood on there own. I cant wait to see the final edit. I feel like the 2nd day was way smoother than the 1st. Hope to share some segments soon.
