| Burgers N' Cream. (This would be the burgers portion.) |
We're going to double up today with a Day 3 Recap of REIFF as well as today's News and Notes. So, lets get right to it.
I'll be honest, we were a little exhausted by the time Sunday rolled around. Saturday night we took the opportunity to actually do a little work. Todd brought along the script for Space Cops 5 and we spent an hour or two doing a read-through and making notes. (If I were a smart man, I would have taken a picture or video of that and put it here, but...) That's actually the first time we've ever done a full-fledged read-through together and there is no doubt that we need to do it every time. It would definitely help us polish all our scripts together.
The next morning, I wrote the Day 2 Recap for this site, we packed up and, after a short discussion, we all decided we weren't extremely excited about getting home at 1am. Therefore, the decision was made not to hang around for the awards ceremony. Even though we really enjoyed the experience last year, we just couldn't do it.
Instead, we made our regular Sunday stop at Yesterday's (or Burgers N' Cream? depending on which sign you're looking at) for some tasty burgers and frozen goodies. Then we swung by Maiden Alley Cinema to vote for our favorite films. We got the chance to make one last connection with Banks Helfrich from Orlando. He's the Director of The Ah of Life and a very friendly guy who said some really nice things about 3 Ladies and was happy to throw lots of advice on us.
After that, it was time to hit the road and make the four hour drive to Danville/Frankfort. Since we left early, we have no idea how all the awards shook out. If we hear any news, we'll certainly relay any interesting developments here.
When we parted ways at the Park & Ride, there were some rumblings that Al and Todd might make a stop to scout locations for Episode 5. If that didn't happen last night, they're planning to do it one evening this week and might include me via FaceTime. Look how advanced we are! We're like men from the future or something.
Last thoughts on Rivers Edge 2012? Another great Festival hosted by Landee and the gang as usual. Incredible weather this year, great grub, and fun flicks to watch. What else could you ask for?
Keep an eye out for Indie Wednesday this week, as I can guarantee one of the shorts we saw at Rivers Edge will be making an appearance.
