Last weekend, Jason and I went to the Sedona International Film Festival. Sedona is just a 2- hour drive from Phoenix; yet it is a completely different world.
Saturday evening we saw Gospel Hill directed by Giancarlo Esposito (the guy from all of Spike Lee’s movies) and the opening short film was Gone fishing by Chris Jones. Gospel Hill was a good movie, but the unexpected surprise was the short film, Gone Fishing, that opened Gospel Hill. It was a brilliant short…never have I felt so many emotions, in such a short time with so few words…outstanding writing, acting, directing and cinematography !!! I can’t wait to see more from Chris Jones.
Sunday we saw a documentary The Long Road North of a man who decided to bike from the tip of South America to the far northern tip of Canada (Artic). It was very interesting and I was especially intrigued by the people he met along the way. Watching this documentary is the closest I would ever get to do anything like that.
This year the Sedona Film Festival….who knows... next year maybe Sundance. I am really digging this who film festival thing !!
