This is one really cool fest, great people, greater vibes. Father Geek here, Harry and I have enjoyed their shorts programs for several years now stretching back to well before we started AICN. We even helped judge the entries a couple of years. You can't go wrong attending this international flavored event. Unfortunately this year we'll have to pass due to committments for Harry to be part of the program up at the Atlantic Film Fest in Halifax, Nova Scotia on the exact same dates. Bummer, but still plenty cool. If you're going to be in Texas the 17th thru the 22nd make plans to attend this... if you're going to be in Vikingland, well maybe you can catch Harry on one of his panels up there...
