    I had a good time overall. There were many worthwhile films and the diversity in theme and aesthetic showed through in the selections, I was proud my film was part of the show. I only wish there had been more opportunity for networking or at least discussion time with the filmmakers who were there. It was hard to pick out a filmmaker in the audience if you didn't know them. It's a nice venue, but I do hope it continues to grow from there.
