Dances With Films Roundup

Cast member Mike Nelson, director Eric Naughton and producer Anthony Sword attend the Dances With Films film festival.

Our Dances With Films experience was quite good. As an alumni of the festival (with Mary/May in 2002), it was great to screen again at this awesome festival. DWF was held at the Laemmle Sunset 5 which was great, not because it's a block away from the Sunset Strip, but because it only took me 10 minutes to get there!

Our screening went well and we had a very good audience reaction, once they warmed up. We were the comic relief in the Short Film Group of Death. Out of the eight films, five were about death and one was a black comedy in which the main character is maimed in a hunting accident.

We were very well represented as Mike Nelson and Loren Lester showed up to see the film on the big screen. I could hear Anthony's kids screaming "Stella" a couple of rows away.

We saw a lot of great films and had a very good experience at the festival. I'm hoping many of you can attend the next one coming up soon...
