Directors Stu Maddux and Robyn Bliley at AIFF's Documentary WorkshopAbove images copyright 2009 Hal Gage
Note to fellow filmmakers: Anchorage Intl. Film Festival is worth getting to; the weather is very doable: it was calm as could be with beautiful ice on all the trees and none under your feet: the perfect holiday getaway with lots of great films.
During awards night I took pics ahead of time with Circus Rosaire's Director, Robyn Bliley and Co-Producer Sheila Segerson
We will use this one if Robyn wins
We'll use this one if Stu wins
We'll use this one if neither of us win
And if it's a tie and there is only one trophy
...we will use these.And the winner was...
...no-one at our table won 1st place.
But I am very honored to receive an honorable mention for "Trip to Hell and Back" being in the company of so many other great documentaries.
See all the pictures
My thanks to festival chiefs, Rand Thornsley and Tony Sheppard for treating us so well. The volunteers seem really aware of what a gem they've got here. Thank-you Hosp. Coordinator, Don Chan, for always, ALWAYS being there and most of all to documentary co-programmers Doug Griffin and Laura Baldwin for creating a really top-notch program of films.
I return to editing re-inspired.
