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

I had the pleasure this afternoon of seeing a remake of the classic “Frankenstein.” How cool was that? Very. The cinematography, music, costumes, special effects… all amazing. The film was perfectly cast right down to the last monster. I would have welcomed a lot more of actress Suzy Brack as the bride’s mother ( can’t get enough of that talented performer). The movie worked partly because the author chose to tell the story, moving back and forth through
time. It worked mostly because of the director’s clear vision. As it happens both author and director are one in the same, Ricardo Islas. I was so impressed with the overall look of the film. Kudos to everyone involved.
