Films!

Madison hosted the 11th annual Wisconsin Film Festival this weekend. Inspiring! I want to make movies now!

Thursday night, Bionca and I saw "Darius Goes West" a wonderful film about a road trip with 15-year-old Darius who has muscular dystrophy. On Friday, co-workers Karen, Jeri and I saw "Handmade Nation," a great idea but less fabulous than "Darius." On Saturday I suffered through two hours and twenty minutes of "Our Beloved Month of August," a Portugese film that had some beautiful moments but lots of other spaces in between.

Sunday afternoon, Bionca and I sat through eleven shorts - a very interesting collection. Gave me lots of ideas. Then Sunday night, Ack and I went to "Rock-afire Explosion," a documentary about the animatronic band that used to be at Showbiz Pizza Place in the '80s, a big birthday celebration spot for out little girls.
