Have you ever been to a film festival?
 

What was it like?

They have had "film festivals" in the Villages. They played a number of Alfred Hitchcock movies as well as a group of Independent movies. These were two different festivals. The manager and an assistant spoke at these. Rachel Ballou, or something like that, was one of the people presenting the movies. Not sure she is with the Old Mill Playhouse now though.

Never been to Sundance or one of the other ones.

There are several film festivals in Florida that fit the popular image of actors, directors, and the like converging on an area each year. About / Attend / 2016 Florida Film Festival
