Director Statement

I have been to quite a few festivals the last few years and I got to say this... Maybe film festivals of today should be called Movie Festivals because they show nothing but HD videos. If a festival is not going to show FILMS SHOT ON FILM, they should not be calling themselves film festivals. Or at least, have a separate film category, to justify the title of the film festival. Film and HD are not the same thing...

FANTASYLAND is just fun. No pretentiousness. No social cause. Just pure entertainment. Enjoy!
